Sanar, Innovative First-Year

The genius of Vivid here is that it scales its dig with the color diversity already on your board rather than with mana or library position. Most impulse-draw engines burrow a fixed depth and hand you whatever sits on top; this one widens as you add colors to your permanents and lets you bank one card per color rather than the single topmost hit. On a two-color base it grabs a couple of spells; splash a third or fourth color across your permanents and the reveal fans out to match. It resolves the classic impulse-draw problem, that you either overpay for depth or get stranded on a lone dud, by exiling multiple cards keyed to distinct colors and giving you the whole turn to cast them: a curated selection instead of a coin flip. The 2/4 body keeps the arrangement grounded, sturdy enough to sit through combat and keep the engine turning across successive turns, small enough that this is a value engine wearing a creature rather than a threat that also draws cards. Because the trigger fires as your turn opens, before you have committed mana, you see the extra options while you still have the full turn to sequence around them; the mandatory shuffle afterward keeps you from stacking the same nonland hits twice and forces the engine to stay true to what your library actually holds.
