Saheeli, Filigree Master
Every prior Saheeli has been a combo enabler first and a planeswalker second: the copy engines, the artifact-token loops, the Felidar Guardian marriage that reshaped an entire Standard. This one steps off that track and rebuilds her as a grind engine that happens to reward artifacts rather than one that breaks the game with them. The plus is the tell. Scry 1 is a floor; the payoff is the optional tap of an untapped artifact to draw, which turns every mana rock, every leftover token, every untapped artifact into a card-advantage lever without ever demanding you build a fragile loop around it. It is repeatable card draw on a walker that protects itself, and the cost is deliberately soft: no artifacts, no problem, you still scry and tick up. The minus-two throws down two flyers that can block or crack in immediately, and those Thopters double as future fuel for the plus. The ultimate is the archetype thesis stated plainly: a static team buff and a cost reduction on artifact spells, an emblem that quietly turns a board of tokens into a clock. What distinguishes her from the older, flashier Saheelis is restraint. She asks you to play a lot of artifacts and slowly out-resource the table, not to assemble two named pieces and win on the spot. The design trades the ceiling for a floor that almost never whiffs.
