Wiccan, Rising Magician

—

5cmc 4/4 flying legendary Warlock that blinks any nonland, nontoken permanent each time you cast a noncreature spell, returning it at the next end step — a powerful ETB-abuse engine in spellslinger shells. The flicker triggers without tapping and hits any permanent (artifacts, enchantments, creatures, planeswalkers), making it broadly useful but requiring a dense noncreature spell count to shine. At 5 mana it's fair enough for brackets 2–4 and lacks the speed for cEDH.

• Wiccan's flicker triggers on ANY noncreature spell — including artifacts, enchantments, and planeswalkers cast as spells — so it works with a wider range of spells than a pure instant/sorcery spellslinger build.

• The return-to-battlefield is delayed to the next end step, so the exiled permanent is gone for a full round if blinked on your turn; this can be used offensively to remove blockers or disrupt opponents' permanents temporarily.

• As a mono-blue legendary Mutant Warlock, Wiccan is one of very few warlock-tribe payoffs in blue, making it a potential commander or key piece in a cross-color warlock typal build splashing blue.
