Rationale
3cmc 2/1 vigilance Human Artificer — ETB destroys up to one artifact or enchantment; tap ability draws a card for you and target opponent. Solid white utility creature combining conditional removal with repeatable (but symmetry-taxed) card draw, making it a staple in white midrange/control and death-and-taxes. The tap draw actively conflicts with stax-prison (fuels opponents) and group-hug already provides resources freely, making Loran's "tax" framing awkward there. Gives opp a card on each activation is a notable risk in competitive contexts.
