Flying You may look at the top card of your library any time. At the beginning of each combat, you may reveal the top card of your library. If you reveal a creature card this way, this creature becomes a copy of that card until end of turn, except it has flying.

If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast the top card of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.

Vesuvan Drifter copies exactly what was printed on the original creature card and nothing else, except it has flying.

Notably, while Vesuvan Drifter is a copy of another card, it doesn't have its own abilities. You won't be able to look at the top card of your library unless another effect allows you to do so.
