Silver Scrutiny

Scaling blue card draw has almost always been a sorcery, from Braingeyser onward, because letting a player refuel their whole hand at instant speed is genuinely dangerous. This design finds a way to hand out flash without handing out the blowout: the flash clause holds only while X is 3 or less. Draw one, two, or three and you get the reactive window a tempo-control deck actually wants, holding up mana and refilling on the opponent's end step. Push X to four or more and the timing collapses back to sorcery speed, a hand-refill you have to commit to on your own turn with no protection behind it. The threshold does the balancing work: it rewards the incremental, mana-efficient draw while shutting off the six-cards-at-instant-speed line that would make the card oppressive. What makes the construction elegant is that timing and payoff scale against each other. The more cards you want, the less freedom you have about when to want them. The card is fair precisely because its most powerful mode is also its least flexible.
