Prophet of the Peak
This is fixing dressed as a beater. The colorless artifact frame is doing the real work: a 5/5 that any deck can cast regardless of its colors, with a scry 2 stapled on so the body pays a small draw-quality dividend as it lands. Scry 2 is the least demanding filtering in the game, a one-shot look with no ongoing cost and no commitment attached, and pairing it with a color-agnostic body means the mana base stays out of the equation entirely. That is deliberate. The design job here is legibility for newer players: the ones who count their lands and want a large thing that also does something helpful, without a decision tree hanging off it. A 5/5 for six blocks and trades in the games where those numbers still matter, and the scry smooths the next two draws for anyone who never learned to build a deck that would smooth them another way. It stays inert everywhere the rate is scrutinized, which is the tell that it exists to give an aggregate curve a top end rather than because any single game wanted it there. Not every card is built for the player who reads the format reports; some are built for the one still figuring out why their draws feel clumsy, and this one answers that quietly.
