Voracious Reader, Creature — Eldrazi Homunculus, designed by Filip Burburan first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon.
A deck running Voracious Reader would benefit from a spellslinger strategy, utilizing a high density of instant and sorcery spells to trigger prowess and take advantage of reduced casting costs. While it can be a decent support card in a spells-matter deck, there are arguably better options available, such as Baral, Chief of Compliance, which offers a larger mana discount and the ability to loot, making it a more efficient choice for competitive play.

Abilities that reduce the cost of a spell apply after abilities that raise them. For example, Borrowed Malevolence with both modes chosen costs to cast if you control Voracious Reader.

If you activate Curious Homunculus’s mana ability in response to its triggered ability, you can spend that mana to cast an instant spell during your upkeep after it has transformed into Voracious Reader. If you don’t spend the mana, it will leave your mana pool before your draw step begins; you can’t use it to cast the card you draw or to cast a sorcery.

If you don’t have enough instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as your upkeep begins, Curious Homunculus’s last ability doesn’t trigger. If you don’t have enough as the ability resolves, the ability has no effect.
