Papercraft Decoy
Oracle Text
When this creature leaves the battlefield, you may pay {2}. If you do, draw a card.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Papercraft Decoy is a two-mana 2/1 artifact creature that reads like a deliberate exchange of tempo for repeatable card selection: it gives you an early body to pressure or chump-block, and when it dies you can pay {2} to convert that death into a card, which favors decks that want cheap, incidental creatures and repeatable leaves-the-battlefield triggers. It best supports tempo/value and sacrifice/blink shells — in aggressive or midrange lists it buys you incremental gas, while in sacrifice or flicker builds it becomes a recurring fuel source. Specific synergies to pursue: run efficient sac outlets (Altar of Dementia, Viscera Seer) or cheap blink effects (Cloudshift, Ephemerate) to abuse the leave-BF trigger, and pair it with artifact tutors or artifact-matters payoff cards so the body itself is useful. Deckbuilding tip: treat it as a flexible one-drop replacement in colorless or artifact-heavy decks; if you can reliably blink or sacrifice it, Papercraft Decoy turns a 2-mana investment into steady card advantage and resource smoothing.
