The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk

Two chapters of Scry 2 into a draw is a Divination dressed as a Saga, and the patience is deliberate: the front side does nothing an opponent can profitably answer while it banks card advantage, so the third-chapter flip into a body feels earned rather than granted. Saga-into-creature designs work by front-loading value before they commit to combat, and this one waits until it has already paid you before it puts anything on the table.

Once it flips, Avatar Kuruk converts the engine into a token machine: every spell you cast makes a 1/1 Spirit that slips past non-Spirit blockers, so the drawing you did earlier becomes evasive board presence the more you keep casting. The Waterbend extra-turn ability is the interaction worth studying. Because an exhaust cost fires only once, this is a single detonation rather than a repeatable Time Warp, and the waterbend clause lets you tap artifacts and creatures to chip in apiece toward the total. Twenty mana reads as unpayable until you count that a wide board (the Spirits very much included) is itself the fuel. The extra turn is less a plan than a payoff for having assembled everything the front half quietly stocked up: the Saga draws the cards, the casting builds the army, and the army pays for the turn.
