3cmc legendary Vedalken Scout. Tap for GU mana restricted to high-CMC spells or X-cost spells; pay U and tap to loot. Signature in big-mana and combo decks that naturally cast 5+ CMC threats or X-spells; the restriction makes it dead ramp for low-curve builds. Looting mode adds card-advantage flexibility. Risks: requires high MV density and a big-mana shell to be effective (commander-dependent if not in a dedicated ramp deck); slow setup before payoff lands."
