Pursuit of Knowledge
A draw-deferral engine built on a payment most cards never let you make: instead of drawing, you bank the card as a study counter, and three banked cards convert to a draw-seven on the sacrifice. The interesting wrinkle is that the replacement applies to any card draw, not just your draw step. A spell that draws three at once charges the enchantment to full in a single turn, then immediately cashes out for seven, turning a modest draw effect into a refill that dwarfs it. Played off the turn-based draw alone, the conversion is slower, costing you three card-draws to net four cards back, but the card never forces that pace; it lets you decide how fast to feed it. The friction lives elsewhere. The enchantment sits exposed for as long as it holds counters, so any disenchant effect that lands before you sacrifice it wipes out the stored cards entirely, and a draw-seven on the stack still wants a board you can afford to survive on. It is a rare white card-advantage piece from an era when white had almost none, and it solves that gap not by handing white a clean refill but by routing the draw through a counter-banking mechanism that demands you choose when the stored value pays off. The result rewards a controlling shell willing to set the conversion up on its own terms, and punishes anyone who treats it as a passive value engine.
