Night-Snatching Specter
Thief of Sanity is a compact engine piece for control and theft strategies. At three mana, this 2/2 flyer trades damage for information and card advantage. When it connects, you quietly strip the top three cards from an opponent's library, exile one face down and mill the rest. The stolen card can be cast later while exiled and you may pay with any color of mana making this a flexible tempo tool in multicolor builds.
In Ravnica the creature reads like a subtle guild operative more than an outright threat. It excels in games where repeated evasive hits turn into a steady pipeline of opponent resources. Practical players will appreciate how it converts a single combat step into long term options and disruption without overextending the board state.
