Quiet Guardian of the Veil
Drift of Phantasms is a utility creature that rewards patient play and careful deckbuilding. With a casting cost of {2}{U}, it arrives as a 0/5 Spirit that stalls attackers with Defender while still skirting restrictions by flying. The body is durable enough to buy time against aggressive starts and to protect planeswalkers or life totals while you execute a plan.
The real value comes from Transmute. For {1}{U}{U} you can discard Drift of Phantasms to fetch any card that shares its mana value. That makes it an efficient tutor in decks that want specific answers or combo pieces at three mana. In Ravnica play feel, it fits blue roles that prefer card selection and board presence over raw aggression.
