Sneak Read: Oblivious Bookworm
Oblivious Bookworm slots into blue decks as a low-cost utility creature that rewards card play and careful sequencing. Oblivious Bookworm plays like a tutor in worm form: it filters your draws when it arrives and gives a small scry benefit if you choose to discard, making it useful in decks that want to sculpt the hand or trigger graveyard synergies. As a Near Mint English uncommon from Duskmourn House of Horror, it fits both casual and competitive lists that value consistency over raw power.
From a lore angle, the Bookworm seems uninterested in the house's screams and more focused on marginalia and marginal edges of spells. Practically speaking this is a card you cast on turn two to shore up late game options or to set up a delve or flashback target. Experienced players will appreciate how the enter the battlefield interaction chains with draw spells and discard outlets to smooth draws and feed the yard without demanding heavy mana investment.
