The Lander token is the pivot here, and it does double duty in a way that turns fixing into a payoff. On its own, a Lander is patient ramp: a sacrifice-for-a-basic artifact that fetches tapped, priced too slow to be pure acceleration. This creature reframes that patience as a clock. Every artifact you sacrifice, the Lander it brings included, converts into two damage aimed at an opponent's face, so the ramp token becomes a burn trigger you were going to spend anyway. The second ability doesn't restrict itself to Landers, either: any artifact sacrifice counts, which is what widens the design from a self-contained ramp-and-reach package into a genuine sacrifice-outlet payoff. Treasure, clue tokens, Food, blood, any of the artifact fodder red and green have accumulated over the years all feed the same drain. The body is deliberately unthreatening: a 1/3 that survives most early combat and sits back while the engine does the work, not a beater. What the card is really building is an incremental damage source that shares a resource, artifact tokens, with your ramp and your value engines, so the same permanent that fixes your mana also caps games from the top. It rewards a deck that treats artifacts as ammunition rather than as board presence, and it asks you to keep a steady supply moving through a sacrifice outlet rather than hoarding them.
