Topdeck Matters
Payoffs that treat the top of the library as an extra resource you can see and cast from. Courser of Kruphix and Oracle of Mul Daya reveal the top card and let you play lands from it; Future Sight and Melek, Izzet Paragon let you cast spells off the top; Bolas's Citadel goes further by letting you pay life to play any nonland from the top. Narrower than topdeck.library_manipulation, which only reorders or peeks without casting, and distinct from topdeck.topdeck_tutor, which places a chosen card on top for the next draw step rather than casting it directly from the library.
