Radagast the Brown

Legendary Creature — Avatar Wizard

Radagast the Brown wants a deck that is built around one creature type, like Elves or Dragons. It also works in a deck built around Avatars, Library Manipulation or Wizards.

Whenever Radagast or another nontoken creature you control enters, look at the top X cards of your library, where X is that creature's mana value. You may reveal a creature card that doesn't share a creature type with a creature you control from among those cards and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
