Tezzeret, Cruel Machinist

The Tezzeret who never quite needed artifacts, which is the quiet tension in his design. The other Tezzerets ask you to fill a deck with metal: gauntlets, golems, ramping rocks they can wield or animate. This one's static plan is only to draw a card a turn and climb loyalty. The ultimate is the giveaway. Putting cards from your hand onto the battlefield face down as 5/5 artifact creatures means the floor stays high regardless of what those cards are: lands, expensive bombs, dead removal, all of it becomes a 5/5 body the moment the ability resolves. It is a mass-cheat effect that launders card quality into raw stats. The 0 ability sits inside that same logic in reverse: instead of conjuring bodies, it borrows a permanent already on your side, turning a targeted artifact you control into a temporary 5/5 attacker or blocker without spending a card. It needs a real artifact to point at, which is the small dependency he keeps even at his most self-sufficient. The result reads as an artifact-deck payoff but plays as a nearly self-contained engine: a draw stapled to a conditional finisher stapled to a game-ending dump of your hand. The flavor lands cleanly too, a Tezzeret who builds his army from inert matter rather than commanding pre-built machines, which is exactly what the ultimate does mechanically. He sits a little outside the usual artifact-tinkerer lineage because his best line never asks what the artifacts actually are.
