Brass's Tunnel-Grinder

Legendary Artifact

When this enters the battlefield, discard any number of cards, then draw that many cards plus one.

At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, put a bore counter on this. Then if there are three or more bore counters on this, remove those counters and transform this. (You descended if a permanent card was put into your graveyard from anywhere.)

Idoneity: Thanks for the kudos. The deck is really fun. Which artifact commander was it you were running?

Traveler's Amulet and friends are interesting, but I don't usually like going that low with lands. Then again, I like that idea. I'll have to think about that.

Welding Jar is nice, but a little too low impact.

Spiteful Banditry has the problem of not being an artifact. The nonartifact count can be an actual issue.

Portal to Phyrexia and Memory Jar are both beyong what I'd pay for a single card, but especially portal would be a great addition to the list.

Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip and Ruin Grinder both are really cool and will get on my buylist.

In short: Great input, thanks a lot!

Love this list. It's very silly and it's very cool. That's enough for my +1.

However, what sort of commenter would I be if I were to abstain from imparted recommendations? Tribute to the Squeaky Mister.

Imma be mindful of budget. Welding Jar is a fantastic piece of utility that furthers your affinity plan. They do substantially less, but Mishra's Bauble and Ichor Wellspring each act the same in that regard.

It's no artifact, but Spiteful Banditry poops out treasure tokens when and after it wraths.

Something I did in my artifact list to increase artifact count is replace lands with Traveler's Amulet style effects. For the same reason, I also run Wanderer's Twig, Renegade Map, Mycosynth Wellspring, and Expedition Map.

For your big squeakies, I couldn't recommend Ruin Grinder more. It's easy to slot in because it's secretly a Mountain, and it let's you draw in a pinch.

I'm sure you know Portal to Phyrexia, but I figured I'd mention it.

One of the best artifacts in the past few years is Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip. It's just good. I've never been displeased with one in hand, as it always minimally replaces itself and card filters.

A final recommendation that forgoes budget concerns is Memory Jar. It's one of the best draw effects an artifact deck can muster. A one-sided, one-turn wheel is as good as it gets, especially when it's cast with affinity.

Of course, all of these suggestions are brought about by a different mind, so employ only what you see fit. You know which squeakies he likes best, so not all of these may be up to snub.

Love the deck! Stay silly!

A few things to consider:

• Swap Browbeat with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip. You can exchange it. It can dig deeper. It doesn't generate card advantage but people can't pay life to counter it either.
• Swap Springjack Pasture with Mirrex.
• Add Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance.
• Seasoned Pyromancer could be good.

Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip could be pretty good

Some broad resource links:

obvious Scryfall search (stuff like Goblin Welder lets you kill one artifact creature and replace it with another one)
