What it does
Flying
At the beginning of your end step, exile the top card of each opponent's library. You may play those cards for as long as they remain exiled. If you cast a spell this way, you may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast it.
Whenever a nonland permanent an opponent owns enters the battlefield under your control, they lose life equal to its mana value.

Where it came from
The Brainstealer Dragon was originally introduced as part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion, a set designed to blend the mechanics of Magic: The Gathering with the immersive world-building of Dungeons & Dragons. The card functions as a creature that utilizes the iconic psychic abilities associated with mind flayers, reflecting the darker, tactical elements of the tabletop source material. It was designed to provide a high-impact threat for multiplayer formats, emphasizing a synergy between dragon-tribal themes and the game's theft-oriented mechanics.
The specific version appearing in The List—marked by the OTC set code—represents the inclusion of older or thematic cards into modern booster packs, a practice Wizards of the Coast uses to maintain availability for popular cards across different iterations of the game. Illustrated by Lucas Graciano, the artwork captures the creature's menacing, eldritch aesthetic, focusing on its imposing scale and the intellectual malice typical of its kind. Upon release, the card was received positively by players for its flavorful design and its ability to serve as a powerful centerpiece in Commander decks.
