Pick rating

4.8WeakRank 191 of 276

A solid playable that rarely gets cut (4.8/10).

Why. A five-mana artifact with improvise that enters tapped and taps for three colorless mana. It lets you cast very large spells, but only in a deck built for it.

Risks. It does nothing on the board, and it enters tapped, costing you a whole turn. The mana is colorless only.

In the draft. Reserved for very slow decks with huge spells. For most decks, let it go by.
