Limited summary

Three-mana 3/3 that draws a card the first time you activate a creature ability each turn, with an expensive blink mode attached. Needs a critical mass of activated abilities to be more than a bear, but rewards the right deck steadily.

Gameplay notes

Equip and Saga abilities don't count — it must be an ability of a creature. His own blink ability triggers the draw too, and blinking rebuys enter-the-battlefield effects at instant speed.
