Creature — Dwarf Artificer2 generic manaWhite mana

The Construct token here echoes the classic Karnstruct mold: a body that scales with the artifacts you already control, and because the token is itself an artifact creature, it counts toward its own count and always lands as at least a 1/1. From there the coupling is the whole engine. Each artifact cast offers a 2 generic mana tax for a creature whose size mirrors your artifact count, and every subsequent artifact pumps all of them at once, so the card grows more efficient exactly as the deck around it gets denser. The design writes a floor and a ceiling into the same clause: pay the 2 generic mana on a thin board and you get a small speed bump, but do it once your battlefield is stocked with mana rocks, Equipment, Treasures, and other artifacts, and a single trigger drops a creature large enough to trade with anything and threaten to end a game. The 2 generic mana is the brake that stops it from snowballing for free; you rarely want to pay on every cast, so each artifact spell becomes a quiet decision about whether you can afford to convert tempo into a body. What makes this a Dwarf Artificer worth building toward rather than a pile of numbers is that scaling. It rewards artifact quantity over quality, turning a deck's utility permanents into an army for no cost beyond the willingness to pay.
