Orator of Ojutai
A blocker that pays you to commit to a tribe. The body alone is a perfectly mundane wall: 0/4 with flying and defender, the kind of stat line that blocks early fliers and holds the ground for free. What turns it from filler into a payoff is the reveal clause, which asks for proof that you are actually a Dragon deck (either a Dragon hidden in hand or one already on the table) and refunds the investment with a card. The elegance is that the cost is information, not resources: you spend nothing but a glimpse, and the Dragon you reveal stays in your hand to cast later. That makes the trigger a near-guaranteed cantrip in any deck built around the theme, while a Dragonless hand still leaves you a serviceable two-mana wall that simply does not replace itself. It is a clean piece of tribal-payoff engineering, rewarding a deckbuilding commitment without punishing the draws where the payoff is absent: the defender keeps it relevant on the floor of its variance, the cantrip rewards the ceiling. Cards that grant card advantage for showing off a creature type are a recurring design idea, but tying the bonus to either reveal or board presence is the wrinkle that makes this one forgiving rather than feast-or-famine.
