Etherium Sculptor vs Chief Engineer?
The Kitchen Table forum

Hello,
just out of curiosity, as I'm building an artifact EDH-deck, I wonder what the general opinion is on these cards:
My guts tells me that the engineer is better because it can make artifacts more cheaper than the sculptor with its convoke-ability. However, that sacrifices creatures, or rather the comfort of having untapped creatures, leaving you more vulnerable.
The engineer was also printed in Modern Masters, which also says something about the card - it was good enough to get into that set/expansion.
Then again, the Chief is a Rare in contrast to the engineer being a lowly common.
So what are your opinions about these cards? And which one to choose if I only can fit one of them into my deck?

If you are playing EDH the answer is both, see them in my deck Sharuum toolkit, Etherium Sculptor it's better in the beginning, but then if you have lot of token (aka thopters) Chief Engineer it's a beast XD

It depends on the build of your deck mostly.
- Etherium Sculptor is better if you you cast several artifact spells a turn (or the same spell several times).
- Chief Engineer is better if you are playing a lot of cheap creatures and a few expensive artifact spells. Note that you don't need to tap artifact creatures, any creature will do.

I mean the SCULPTOR (Etherium Sculptor) made it into modern masters and being a common, not the engineer.
Sorry for the confusion. I was tired.
