Soratami Savant

The Moonfolk paid for almost everything they did by returning lands to hand: bounce-as-cost was the tribe's signature, a faction that funded its tempo by undoing its own development and replaying lands for repeated value. Here that tax buys permission, but soft permission: the activation costs three mana plus a land off the board, and even then it only forces the opponent to find three more or lose the spell, a Force Spike-style out rather than a hard stop. Read the whole arithmetic and it looks expensive, almost prohibitive. What redeems it is that the land-bounce loss folds back into the gameplan instead of cutting against it. A faction built to re-deploy lands every turn treats the cost as a resource it was always going to spend, so a flier with a repeatable Mana Leak stapled on is exactly the patient, grinding permission the Moonfolk wanted: hold up the body, threaten the counter, replay the land, and ask the question again next turn. The land requirement is what stops the effect from running away with the game, since you cannot tax every spell for free; you have to commit board development to keep the threat live, and a flush opponent can often just pay the three and move on. It is permission designed for a slow blue control shell with mana to burn, not a tempo wall, and its rhythm depends entirely on a manabase you are happy to bounce and recast.
