Tenacious Tomeseeker

Creature — Human Knight2 generic manaBlue mana

Regrowth on a body is an old idea, but the pricing structure here is the interesting part: the spell recursion is not baked into the mana cost, it is unlocked by a payment you choose to make at cast time. Cast it flat and you get a 3/2 with nothing else. Bargain it instead, feeding an artifact, enchantment, or token to the cost, and the enters trigger buys back an instant or sorcery from your graveyard. That split gives the card two clean use profiles, and the token clause is where the math gets favorable: a Treasure, a Clue, a leftover Food, a fabricated body, anything you were going to spend anyway becomes the entry fee. Note the constraint the bargain cost enforces: you cannot feed it a basic land or a real creature, so the recursion wants a deck already generating disposable artifacts, enchantments, and tokens. Give it that fodder and it reloads a burned counterspell, a spent piece of interaction, or a cantrip. Structurally it belongs to the lineage of value creatures that fold a spell effect into a stat line, but the sacrifice-as-cost framing pushes it toward a graveyard-and-tokens midrange shell rather than pure tempo: you want the recursion online, which means you want fodder, which means you want a board built to feed it. The 3/2 is the floor, not the sell. What you are buying is a creature that decides at cast time whether it also hands back your best spell.
