Character Background

Tinker is the quintessential cheat engine for artifact-centered combo and value strategies: thematically it reads like a desperate artificer burning a junked gadget to birth a game-ending contraption, and mechanically it trades any expendable artifact for whatever stapled artifact your deck needs right now. It best supports combo/value shells (and can enable tempo swing when you fetch a mana rock to keep your curve smooth), so build with lots of cheap, sacrificial artifacts and reliable tutors—think zero- or one-mana fodder (Ornithopter, Mishra’s Bauble, Lotus Petal) and redundancy in your targets. Specific synergies to consider: pair Tinker with a one-turn kill like Blightsteel Colossus or with artifact-based win engines, and include protection or disruption (soft counters, discard insurance) because losing the fetched piece to removal kills the play. Deckbuilding tip: minimize high-cost, nonessential artifacts so you always have a clean sacrifice, and add recursion or multiple tutor effects to make Tinker a repeatable, consistent plan.
