Hoarding Dragon
A flier that doubles as an artifact tutor, with a built-in cost: the piece you fetch stays exiled until the dragon dies, so the body is the lock holding your treasure hostage. That structure is the whole design. Most tutors hand you the card and ask nothing further; this one binds the search to the creature's survival, which means the artifact you want is only as safe as a 4/4 with no protection. The death trigger turns that vulnerability into a delivery mechanism: trade the dragon in combat, sacrifice it, or let it get removed, and the exiled card arrives in hand at exactly the moment you no longer have to defend it. The flexibility runs deep because the search has no rate clause: a one-mana mana rock and a backbreaking combo piece cost the same to retrieve, and the body's value scales with what you point it at. It plays honest because the tutored card never enters the battlefield directly; you pay the dragon's death before you get to cast it, a two-step tax that keeps the effect from being a free toolbox. Built for decks that want one specific artifact and don't mind that the search engine has a heartbeat.
