Flying, ward {2}
Domain — Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, reveal the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of basic land types among lands you control. An opponent separates those cards into two piles. Put one pile into your hand and the other into your graveyard. (Piles can be empty.)

- The player who controls the triggered ability chooses which opponent separates the cards into two piles. This choice is made after revealing those cards. (2022-09-09)
