Sigiled Starfish

A 0/3 wall whose only output is repeatable card selection, which is a tidier piece of design than the inert body suggests. The defensive stat line is doing two jobs: it blocks the early ground creatures a control deck most fears, and it justifies an ability that would be undercosted on anything with offensive reach. Scry lives here as a tap ability rather than a single enters-the-battlefield trigger, and that shift is the whole strategic point: instead of smoothing one draw, it turns every untap step into a small filtering decision, letting a slow deck dig toward its land drops early and its threats late while never spending a card or a mana to do it. The cost of that engine is paid in tempo. It contributes nothing to the board's offense and asks you to leave it home blocking, so the value accrues only in games that run long enough for repeated scrying to matter. That makes it a creature built for the patient end of the spectrum, where a recurring look at the top of the library compounds into real consistency over a dozen turns. The lineage is the cheap blue defensive utility creature, the kind printed to give control a body that buys time and pays rent at the same time; this one's rent is information, drip-fed one card per turn for as long as it survives.
