Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Ladee Danger, take a look at the newest spells matter Wizard from Zendikar Rising — Magmatic Channeler!
This Human Wizard clocks in as a two-mana 1/3 with all kinds of upside revolving around having a deck full of instants and sorceries.
As long as there are four or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, Magmatic Channeler gets +3+1.
By simply playing or finding a way to get spells into your graveyard, Magmatic Channeler upgrades into a 4/4 for two mana. Of course, pitching cards to the graveyard also turbo charges Magmatic Channeler and its second ability happens to help you accomplish that.
T: Discard a card: Exile the top two cards of your library, then choose one of them. You may play that card this turn.
Magmatic Channeler lets you churn through your deck with a variation on rummaging. Discarding cards with escape adds to the value component as well as charging up its power and toughness. Once Magmatic Channeler is a 4/4, you have a real threat on the battlefield or a reliable engine of card selection. It also fits into a party as a Wizard to help reduce other spells’ casting cost, in turn making it easier to fuel the first condition.
