Legendary Creature — Human Wizard2 generic manaRed mana

Impulse-draw usually rummages through your own library; here the ability points that same effect across the table, digging through a target opponent's top cards until it strikes something castable and handing you the spell for free. This is an exile-and-steal engine wearing the clothes of card advantage. The self-limiting clause on stolen creatures (haste plus a forced end-step sacrifice) tells you exactly what the design is built to do: not to durdle a fatty into permanent residence, but to borrow an attacker for a single swing on your own turn, or to convert an opponent's removal and burn into your own tempo. Because it activates only as a sorcery and any borrowed creature dies at your end step, there is no defensive dimension: no chump-block on someone else's turn, no ambush blocker held up at instant speed. The 1/3 body is deliberately passive, built to survive incidental damage and sit back ticking the ability rather than trading in combat. Paying two generic and a red plus a tap each turn buys a repeatable levy leveled at one player and biased toward the pod's most spell-dense deck. Whether the exiled card is a bomb or a blank belongs to their variance, not yours, which makes the whole thing read less like theft than like a slow, grinding tithe on someone else's library.

Sketch and Lore — 2 generic manaRed mana, Tap: Target opponent exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant, sorcery, or creature card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. If you cast a creature spell this way, it gains haste and "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this creature." Activate only as a sorcery.
