Overwhelmed Apprentice

Creature — Human WizardBlue mana

Both halves of the enter trigger touch a library, but they point in opposite directions: opponents lose two cards off the top, and you scry two on your own. Neither half is a resource by itself. Milling two does not thin an opponent's draws (it just relocates random cards to their graveyard, leaving the odds on their next draw untouched); scry sculpts your next two turns but never puts a card in hand. So the card asks to be a cog rather than a payoff. The mill matters where graveyards are targets or where a clock is being assembled against a specific opponent; the scry matters in shells that care about the top of their own deck; the 1/2 body is the load-bearing detail, not an afterthought, because it survives the incidental one-damage pings that clear away 1/1 utility wizards, so the creature sticks to block or to be reused. Flicker and reanimation are the real multiplier: every re-entry repeats both effects, and unlike a scry engine that leaves cards on top and keeps showing you the same two, a fresh entry pushes a different pair off the opponent's library and re-sculpts yours after you have drawn through the last look. A mono-blue one-drop that touches four cards across two libraries the moment it lands, built for any deck that treats library position as something to manage rather than a place to draw from.

Rules text

When this creature enters, each opponent mills two cards. Then you scry 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom and the rest on top in any order.)
