Orysa, Tide Choreographer (SOS)

Legendary Creature — Merfolk Bard

This spell costs {3} less to cast if creatures you control have total toughness 10 or greater. When Orysa enters, draw two cards.

Reliable draw engine for blue tempo and creature-heavy strategies. Orysa rewards you for going wide or tall with your board, offering a significant mana discount that makes the five-mana rate feel much more reasonable—often casting for just two mana in the right deck. The immediate card draw smooths out your hand while you're already developing threats, making it a solid inclusion in Pioneer and Modern tempo decks that naturally accumulate toughness through small creatures or lords. Less impactful in Commander unless your strategy already centers on creature density, but worth considering in focused blue tempo shells.
