Need 0 cost draw cards.
Legacy forum

I'm working on a turn 1 win Grapeshot deck that relies on playing 0 drop creatures. However to propel the win, I find I have need of alot of card draw. So far I run Gitaxian Probe s, Street Wraith s, Lifespark Spellbomb s, and Glimpse of Nature s. I'm not a big fan of the Lifespark Spellbomb, and while Glimpse of Nature works really well, I dont always have the mana to play it. Are there other cheap card draws I don't know of that won't run me alot of cash when I finally order the cards I need?
Mox Opal would probably be a good card to think about as well.

I had tried Manamorphose , but once again hit the issue of not always being able to afford it. Urza's Bauble and Mishra's Bauble are cool but probably wouldn't work as the grapeshot viability would be gone. Mox Opal wouldn't work because I don't run enough artifacts, was thinking of Chrome Mox though it hurts as far as cost goes. Maybe I'll tweak it to run some Chrome Mox and put in Manamorphose as extra draw. Thanks for suggestions and ideas.

So as it stands, as far as mana needs being met goes, added 4 Dryad Arbor and 3 Chrome Mox in addition to having already been running 4 Lotus Petal , 4 Simian Spirit Guide , and 4 Elvish Spirit Guide . The Dryad Arbor increases my chance of being able to get off Glimpse of Nature while still triggering it. My card draw engine now goes 4 Conjurer's Bauble , 4Gitaxian Probe , 4 Glimpse of Nature , and 4 Manamorphose . Hopefully can get the combo off more often now. Any comments and upvotes on my deck would also be appreciated :D

It's actually an existing thing, just do a search for Legacy Cheerios.

yea I know its a thing, just like building it on my own. Didnt know its name though. Also just realized Dryad Arbor would have summoning sickness :(

Dryad Arbor is also not a spell, and therefore does not work with Grapeshot or Glimpse of Nature .

while not "free" persay Burning-Tree Emissary gives you a "free spell" because it pays for its self and helps you get out bigger spells. Also if we're going legacy there is Mox Diamond although it requires you to have a land it's great once you're on your combo.

Finally for one more 0 drop creature, Shield Sphere .

1 Mana draw spells work wonders with Blistercoil Weird and Paradise Mantle . Turns every 1 mana draw spell into a free draw spell. If not, the spirit guides will do well for you. Also I have a very buget storm deck in my deck folder that is pretty much just ramp and draw power that might help as well.

Manamorphose , Urza's Bauble , Mishra's Bauble , and that's about it.
