Sage of Days — Quietly Reorders Fate
Sage of Days is a compact card that rewards deckbuilding with card selection and smooth draws. This Human Wizard from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan costs {2}{U} and enters the battlefield to let you look at the top three cards of your library. You may put one back on top and mill the rest. In practice this translates to reliable setup on turn three and a way to sculpt future turns while fueling graveyard synergies. The Light Play Foil condition gives the art a gentle sheen that catches light without masking the print details collectors track.
Use Sage of Days in tempo oriented blue shells that value predictability. It slots cleanly into control lists that need low cost selection or into graveyard oriented builds that welcome a couple of cards into the yard. The printed power and toughness are 3 over 2 which makes it a serviceable early blocker and a nuisance for aggressive lists that rely on one shot damage. Lore wise the sage stands at the threshold of a lost cavern as if pausing time itself to arrange what comes next.
