Rashmi and Ragavan

Legendary Creature — Elf Monkey · {1}{G}{U}{R} · Green/Red/Blue commander

Whenever you cast your first spell during each of your turns, exile the top card of target opponent's library and create a Treasure token. Then you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost if it's a spell with mana value less than the number of artifacts you control. If you don't cast it this way, you may cast it this turn.
