look up mtg cards Magic: The Gathering look at the top four cards of your library Keeper of the Lens ·

This is a possible Bant commander for one of Twenty-Toed Toads alternate win conditions, probably the one tied to its counters rather than the cards in your hand

The problem is that a 2/2 (even a 2/2 with flying) can be outclassed fairly quickly, so delaying Vexing Gull trades its early game relevance (pecking in for damage) for mid-game value (when you might be behind in the race or not be able to attack with Vexing Gull)

It's expensive, but the fail case here is 7 mana for 4 2/2 tokens, and you're likely to put counters on a bunch of other stuff too
