Creature — Human Artificer2 generic manaWhite manaBlack mana

A 3/3 body for four mana is the price you pay for a recursion clause that reaches in two directions at once. Most graveyard-recursion creatures of this era specialized: a Gravedigger pulled back creatures, an artifact-recursion piece pulled back artifacts, and the color pie kept those lanes apart. Folding both targets into one Orzhov body is the design move here, and it pays off precisely in decks where the line between a creature and an artifact has blurred: an artifact creature counts for either clause, so anything from a returned mana rock to a sacrificed combat body comes back without forcing you to commit to a single graveyard strategy at deckbuilding time. The trigger fires on entry, which makes the card a natural target for blink and reanimation effects that can re-fire it: each new arrival is another card clawed out of the yard, turning a fair-rate body into a slow, repeatable value engine. Cast once, it is a single card of glue: a body that trades down on the battlefield while quietly winning the card economy. Built around, it is the recursion link that lets an artifact-aristocrats shell keep its key pieces in rotation indefinitely.
