Legendary Creature — Dwarf Wizard

Oracle text

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, Shantotto gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast that spell. If X is 4 or more, draw a card.

"Ohohoho! I might be the harshest mistress in all of Vana'diel. But I may yet forgive you, if at my feet you kneel."
