Drafna, Founder of Lat-Nam
Two artifact-centric abilities stapled to a fragile 2/1 body, and the second one is the real prize: a repeatable engine that copies an artifact spell already on the stack, spitting out a token duplicate for a fixed cost. That reads like an incremental value play until you notice what it turns the first ability into. Bouncing an artifact you control back to hand looks defensive, a way to recycle a costly entry or slip a piece out from under removal, but paired with the copy ability it becomes a loop of intent: cast, copy, bounce, recast, copy again. The bounce is the cheap, blue-flavored reload that keeps the engine fed; the copy is the payoff. What holds it together is the tap and the mana tax on that copy. It fires once per turn cycle absent untap tricks, so the ceiling is gated by how many artifact spells you can afford to keep casting, not by Drafna alone. This is a builder's Drafna: the historical figurehead of Lat-Nam's academy recast as an artifact-copy hub, a piece that does nothing in a vacuum and everything in a deck stuffed with cheap artifact spells worth doubling. The 2/1 body is beside the point, which is the honest read: this is a rules-text card, an academic in the truest sense, priced to be a cog rather than a threat.
