Oildeep Gearhulk

Artifact Creature — Construct

Lifelink, ward 1 generic
When this creature enters, look at target player's hand. You may choose a card from it. If you do, that player discards that card, then draws a card.

Oil-actuated inventions raised eyebrows after the Invasion, but no one could argue against the efficacy of the design.
