Wayfarer's Bauble

Artifact1 generic mana

Ramp that fixes, in colorless. Where most fixing of its era either demanded an artifact-heavy shell or charged retail rate for the privilege, this one costs a total of three mana split across two turns to turn any deck into a Rampant Growth deck without touching its colors. The structure is the appeal: a one-mana artifact you drop early and crack later, so the front half barely dents a tight curve and the back half spends mana you would otherwise float. Because it fetches a basic onto the battlefield rather than to hand, it ramps and fixes in a single motion, and the shuffle quietly thins a basic out of the deck. The tapped clause is the toll: you do not get the land untapped the turn you sacrifice it, which keeps the effect honest as ramp rather than as a way to flash extra mana into a combo turn. For colorless and five-color decks that cannot lean on color-specific dorks or signets, it became a quiet staple precisely because it makes no demands of the surrounding spells, only of your tempo. The lineage runs from Rampant Growth through every "fetch a basic into play" effect that followed; this is the artifact version, color-agnostic by construction, and that color-agnosticism is the whole reason it outlived flashier fixing built for one deck.
