Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, you may draw X cards, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast that spell. If you do, discard two cards.
Predicted power
Standard 48 Eng.C-Usr.

Izzet Control can turn three-plus-mana spells into cards, but a four-mana enchantment with no immediate impact is a major tempo risk.

Could be wrong if A dense new suite of efficient 3+ mana spells or graveyard payoffs could make its filtering and card advantage much stronger.

Pioneer 46 Eng.C-Usr.

Lotus Field is the clearest shell for large mana-spend triggers, but this is a four-mana setup piece that does nothing until another spell resolves.

Could be wrong if If Lotus Field can deploy this without slowing its primary plan, large follow-up spells could make it a recurring engine.

Modern 37 Eng.DUsr.

Ruby Storm is a plausible test shell, but four mana upfront and poor returns on cheap or reduced spells are severe Modern liabilities.

Could be wrong if A proven combo line using a high-mana noncreature spell could turn the delayed trigger into enough selection to justify it.

Legacy 32 Eng.D-Usr.

Legacy's cheap spells, free interaction, and punishing tempo make a four-mana engine that needs another spell afterward a difficult sell.

Band speculativeConfidence 69%

Could be wrong if Fast mana and a dedicated high-mana-spell combo shell could make its ceiling more practical than its current floor suggests.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 52 Eng.CUsr.

In spell-heavy graveyard decks, repeated 3+ mana noncreature spells provide selection and net cards, though it needs setup and offers no immediate value.

Could be wrong if Optimized lists may favor cheaper draw engines, while unknown graveyard payoffs could materially improve its discard clause.

Limited 41 Eng.D+Usr.

It has no board impact at four mana; it is playable only with enough costly noncreature spells to convert later triggers into real cards.

Could be wrong if Unknown archetypes, spell density, and graveyard rewards could move it from narrow filler to a genuine engine.

“A delayed engine that profits only from repeated three-plus-mana noncreature spells, making it powerful in theory but costly to deploy.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
