Creature — Dragon3 generic manaBlue mana

The trigger asks a question most spell-drawing engines never bother with: not whether you cast a spell, but how many things it points at. Card advantage stapled to casting has usually been flat (one spell, one card, on a prowess-style body or a Niv-Mizzet ping), but this rewards fan-out targeting specifically. A single Fireball drawing you one card is a poor return; a spell that hits three creatures, or a modal removal piece that splits its aim, turns each pointer into a card. That reframing pushes deckbuilding toward multi-target spells rather than raw spell count, and it means the engine scales with breadth instead of frequency. Note what the trigger sidesteps: a true sweeper like Wrath of God targets nothing, so the broad board answers you might reach for do not feed this at all. The payoff spells you want are the ones that spread themselves across many pointers (arced pump, split burn, "up to three target" removal), which spreads their headline effect thin even as it fattens the draw. The flying, vigilance body is deliberately unremarkable, a 3/3 whose evasion and untapped posture matter for pressure rather than for the ability, since the draws come whenever you cast regardless of whether this creature is tapped. It is a build-around that quietly rewrites what "good spell" means: value targeting geometry over raw wattage, and the card pays you in cards for pointing widely.
