Tezzeret, Cruel Captain
Oracle Text
Whenever an artifact you control enters, put a loyalty counter on Tezzeret.
0: Untap target artifact or creature. If it's an artifact creature, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
−3: Search your library for an artifact card with mana value 1 or less, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
−7: You get an emblem with "At the beginning of combat on your turn, put three +1/+1 counters on target artifact you control. If it's not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature."
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Tezzeret, Cruel Captain excels as a value-and-tempo engine in artifact-based decks, rewarding you every time an artifact enters the battlefield by growing its loyalty and accelerating toward a brutal emblem or recurring utility. Its 0 ability lets you untap mana rocks or creatures—turning an activation into extra mana or producing incremental growth if it's an artifact creature—while −3 tutors cheap artifacts (mana value 1 or less) to fuel more entries. Deckbuilding should prioritize zero- and one-mana artifacts and token generators: Ornithopter, one-mana rocks (Mox Amber/Talisman effects), Aether Vial or Paradoxical Outcome–style bounce engines give you repeatable loyalty triggers and fuel combo lines, and Steel Overseer or other counters synergies turn untaps into raw clock. Protect Tezzeret and build redundancy; the emblem snowballs artifact boards into lethal threats. In short, build a low-cost artifact value/tempo shell with flicker, mana rocks, and counter synergies to make Tezzeret carry the game.
