Nobody

The Izzet artifact deck in TMT is the only real buyer, and the deck's bounce payoffs are thinner than the card's design wants them to be. Sneak shows up on 59 cards in the set, but it lives mostly outside UR, and the artifact subtheme at common doesn't offer the dense ETB recursion the trigger was built around. That caps the ceiling well below what the text promises. You pay three for a 3/2 with scry 1 and an optional bounce, then pay the recast cost again on whatever you picked up, and the recast tax is steep enough that you often decline. The bounce earns its slot on a permanent with a worthwhile ETB: an Equipment you want to re-equip, or an artifact creature whose enter trigger justifies a full recast. Neither is dense enough at common to build around, which leaves the scry doing the work most games.

Pick band lands around P2P4 to P2P6 in UR Artifacts once the deck has come together, later in any other shell. The hybrid pips earn their keep: a mono-blue artifact build or a red-splash deck runs it without committing to a third color, useful in a format where two-color decks lean on utility lands like Escape Tunnel and TCRI Building to stretch a splash.

Maindeck in UR, sideboard or pass elsewhere. The 3/2 trades up on defense, killing the 2/3 that anchors the format's common slot, and it survives attacking into one only if you have a trick to back it. Stomped by the Foot answers it for two on curve, the standard tax on a three-drop with no resilience. The scry floor keeps it from ever being dead; the missing ETB density keeps it from being more than the third or fourth value piece in its only home.

The bounce-your-own-artifact clause points this at decks with abundant cheap artifacts whose enters triggers are worth replaying, which is a narrower group than "blue-red" implies. The cleanest home is an Izzet artifact-value commander like Saheeli, the Gifted, where the body picks up something that pays a second dividend on re-entry and the deck already wants to be flush with artifact tokens. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain is the other natural fit: an Izzet artifact-forward shell that draws off casting historic permanents and can replay a high-value piece to refill. Where the card earns its slot is alongside artifacts whose own enters trigger does real work. Pick up Solemn Simulacrum, replay it for the ramp and the eventual death-draw, and the 3/2 has paid rent. Burnished Hart does similar work for the mana base.

This is a Bracket 2-3 card. The effect is too slow for cEDH, where a three-drop bouncing a Treasure is not buying enough, and too synergy-hungry for precon, where the artifact density usually is not there. Call it the eighth or ninth piece of an artifact-recursion submodule rather than a build-around. Against a dedicated card-advantage three-drop it loses the slot; the job here is the value loop, not raw card flow.

The optional bounce and scry floor keep it from being dead. On an empty board it is a fine curve play: a 3/2 for three that filters one card and waits for the loop to come online, without stranding the trigger in hand. That floor matters more in multiplayer than the ceiling, because the retrigger rarely swings a four-person table on its own.

Expect a sub-$5 price. It is invisible in any deck not built around cheap, ETB-relevant artifacts, which is most Commander tables.

A three-mana artifact value creature looking for a Modern home that does not exist yet. The bounce only hits artifacts you control, so it wants a critical mass of ETB artifacts to replay, and the format's artifact decks already have tighter three-drops doing more focused work. The scry-plus-3/2 floor keeps it honest, but a fair body with a soft trigger does not clear the bar in a format this fast. Legal, but yet to register in tracked tournament play, and there is no current shell asking for it.

Legal since its March 2026 release, this has yet to register in tracked Standard play. The mechanical read explains the gap better than any matchup analysis would. The card wants a board state Standard does not currently reward: a stable population of artifacts whose enters-the-battlefield triggers are worth replaying. Treasures and Clues are everywhere, but bouncing a Treasury for a scry is a tempo loss, not a value loop, and the artifact creatures that pay off the bounce in earnest have not coalesced into a deck. As a 3/2 for three with an optional scry, the floor is real but unremarkable, and Izzet's three-drop slot this season has gone to cards that affect the board or refill the hand on their own, not ones that ask you to assemble the engine first. The hybrid pips were built to let it slide into mono-blue artifact or mono-red treasure shells without strain; neither shell is contesting the format right now.

This stays legal until the spring 2027 rotation cycle, with the exact date pending Wizards' announcement. Its partners share that clock, so the engine pieces will not strand it ahead of schedule. Whether it ever finds a home depends on a payoff that has not printed yet: an artifact with an ETB worth replaying twice, in a deck fast enough to do it. The current pool does not provide one, but the value-engine ceiling is the kind that one well-aimed printing can flip on.

A three-mana artifact body for Izzet artifact or Treasure shells, the kind of value three-drop these decks reach for once the better permanent-based engines are spoken for. The trouble is Pioneer has not asked for it: the format's blink-and-replay payoffs cost less or hit harder, and a 3/2 that wants a worthwhile artifact ETB to re-trigger is a lot of setup for a soft loop. It is legal, but it has yet to register in tracked tournament play so far. Goes in a budget Izzet artifacts brew, cut the moment a cleaner engine is in range.

A 3/2 for three that bounces one of your own artifacts on entry, with a scry attached, wants an artifact deck whose ETBs are worth replaying. Pauper's home for that is Affinity, and Affinity does not want this card. The deck's engine runs on Thoughtcast, Galvanic Blast, and the affinity-cost reduction of its own threads; its three-drop slot is contested by closers and card draw, not by a 3/2 that asks you to re-trigger a Myr Enforcer or pick up an equipment for value you mostly do not need. The bounce-your-own-artifact valve cuts off the disruptive line that would justify the body, and the scry floor is not enough to displace anything the archetype already runs.

Outside Affinity, no Pauper deck is building around Treasure or Clue ETB loops the way the design assumes; the format's blue tempo shells run Spellstutter Sprite and counters in this part of the curve, not a permanent-based value creature with no immediate impact on the board.

The card is legal but has yet to register in tracked tournament play this season. That tracks with the structural read: the trigger needs an artifact-ETB density Pauper does not currently support, and the body alone does not earn a slot in a format this compressed.

A 3-mana artifact creature that bounces one of your own artifacts to replay an ETB, in a format where Ancestral Recall draws three for one and the Power Nine and the Workshops engine define what an artifact slot is worth. The bounce targets only artifacts you control, so it does nothing to the Bazaar or Dredge plan and offers no free interaction. A value three-drop is not a thing Vintage asks for. Legal, but yet to register in tracked tournament play. Noise.

A 3/2 for three whose value is a one-time artifact bounce and a scry. The relevant tax is Force of Will: any three-mana permanent in a blue deck pays it on the way in, and a 3/2 that replays a Treasure or Clue trigger is not worth the card you spend pitching to protect it, nor the tempo of leaving it on the table against Daze and Wasteland. Legacy's three-drop engines have to either close fast or generate insurmountable advantage; this does neither. The bounce-an-artifact-you-control clause is too narrow to abuse in a format that already has cheaper, less conditional ways to recur ETBs. Legal, but yet to register in tracked tournament play this season. Does not clear the bar.
