Otherwise, youre paying life to gain cards, and putting yourself dangerously low for another play to take you out
This card gets around that with life gain and energy, and I think it will be good in a few places
Hakbal of the Surging Soul, Cold-Eyed Selkie, Emperor Mihail II, Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca, Realmwalker, Sage of Fables, Svyelun of Sea and Sky, Topography Tracker, Seafloor Oracle, Tributary Instructor, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Prime Speaker Zegana, Tishana, Voice of Thunder, Inspiring Call, Commit // Memory, Kindred Discovery 16 card draw
A few of our creatures and a few of our abilities require creatures to attack, and I like if I can get those triggers without losing my creature
It also fits well into blue-based artifact decks as a way to draw cards cheaply and get a nice creature in play
