Satoru, the Infiltrator
Satoru, the Infiltrator rewards timing and subtlety in a way few rares do. At {2}{U}{B} this legendary creature brings menace and a triggered value engine that reads board transitions like a scout reads terrain. When Satoru and one or more other nontoken creatures enter under your control, and none of them were cast or had mana spent to cast them, you draw a card. That clause pairs cleanly with reanimation, blink effects, and cheating creatures into play from the graveyard.
Play patterns that keep a low profile benefit most. Satoru fits into control shells that use sacrifice, flicker, or return effects to refill hand while maintaining pressure with menace and evasive threats. The card surfaces in decks that prize incremental advantage over raw tempo. A compact two three body keeps Satoru relevant as both a clock and a trigger anchor in the late game.
