At the beginning of each end step, if you drew two or more cards this turn, you may put a quest counter on Archmage Ascension.

As long as Archmage Ascension has six or more quest counters on it, if you would draw a card, you may instead search your library for a card, put that card into your hand, then shuffle.

Flying, ward

Whenever you cast a Faerie or Wizard permanent spell, copy it. (The copy becomes a token.)

Whenever Archmage's Newt deals combat damage to a player, target instant or sorcery card in your graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost. That card gains flashback until end of turn instead if Archmage's Newt is saddled. (You may cast that card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

+1: Until your next turn, whenever a creature attacks you or Tasha, Unholy Archmage, put a -1/-1 counter on that creature.

−2: Target opponent puts a creature card of their choice from their graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. That creature gains ward .

−6: Target opponent reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal three creature cards. Put those cards onto the battlefield under your control. That player puts the rest into their graveyard.

If it's neither day nor night, it becomes day as Vadrik, Astral Archmage enters the battlefield.

Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost less to cast, where X is Vadrik's power.

Whenever day becomes night or night becomes day, put a +1/+1 counter on Vadrik.
