Professor Zei, Anthropologist (TLA)

Legendary Creature — Human Advisor Ally

{T}, Discard a card: Draw a card. {1}, {T}, Sacrifice Professor Zei: Return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand. Activate only during your turn.

Reliable card advantage engine for UR spellslinger decks. Professor Zei fills two roles efficiently: a repeatable looting outlet that smooths your hand while fueling the graveyard, and a late-game recursion tool that returns key instants and sorceries. The low activation costs make it a solid glue piece in Pioneer and Modern tempo or spell-focused strategies, though it requires setup and doesn't impact the board immediately. Best in decks already running discard outlets or heavy spell counts where the recursion mode becomes relevant.
