I usually have a Sunforger on this bad boy in my Numot, the Devastator EDH. Until I loot out a Serra Ascendant and just ranch them mercilessly with a 1-drop 6/6 flying lifelinker wearing a Sunforger.

It's an il-kor with the italics.

The second of the three phases of the Kor. Along with Infiltrator il-Kor one of the only two blue Kor. I think the il-Kor were supposed to be evil while the en-Kor fought for the forces of good.

The il in Time Spiral block are not actually evil. They used to be traitors and allied with Volrath but Volrath is long since dead. The flavor text on Drifter il-Dal shows that these il are not the same generation as the ones who originally allied to the Evincar and the flavor text on Trespasser il-Vec explains how they became trapped in shadow. You can see a desire for physicality in both the Drifter and Augur il-Vec.

Legal in Pauper. Help him find a home.

The only problem with him is that you will at times run into cards like Propaganda or Ensnaring Bridge, making it more difficult for you to plow through your library. People tend to run those often these days. In such cases Merfolk Looter becomes a much better deal.
That said, I found him to work really well with powerful equipments like Sword of Fire and Ice, where his damage output jumps up to 5 and you draw two cards instead of one. If you have mana acceleration like Dark Ritual, this can come about as early as turn three, and might possibly win you the game right then and there. No creature can really block him.
A common with two great abilities and a simple cost. I'd give it a 4/5.

This is a rather good looter.
Since it has shadow it can carry equipments like Umezawa's Jitte really well, and just sail on through to build up those counters.
Art is nice as well, and it just plain has style. I run it in my Esper deck that carries some really high cost stuff, and it's so nice to clear them from your hand early in the game so you don't lose tempo. This is one of the best uses for looters in general outside of obvious ones like reanimator.
4/5
