Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal

Legendary Creature — Human Warlock · {1}{W}{B} · Black/White commander

Eerie — Whenever an enchantment you control enters and whenever you fully unlock a Room, surveil 2 if this is the first time this ability has resolved this turn. If it's the second time, each opponent discards a card. If it's the third time, put a creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.
