Default [CON] Faerie Mechanist

So i asked Zesty about helping out in the number crunch thread and crossed my fingers and asked about one card in particular cuz i'm such a fae enthusiast ....Faerie Mechanist. This is what he told me...

"As for the faerie he's a (U)(3) he's a 2/2 Artifact Faerie Artificier. So when he comes into play, look at the top 3 cards of your library, reveal an artifact card amongst them and put it in your hand, the rest on the bottom in any order."

(U)(3) Faerie Mechanist
Artifact Faerie Artificer
Flying
When ~ CIP, look at the top 3 cards of your library, reveal an artifact card amongst them and put it in your hand, the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
2/2

I assume it has flying cuz its a faerie.

a 2/2 for 3u that lets you peek at your library for an artifact is pretty solid. Obviously you'll want to use it with Etherium Sculptor but even on it's own it's pretty solid.

Wow it's a more restrictive Raven's Familiar which costs 1 more but lacks the echo. L nice in an artifact heavy esper creation. C 4cc is too expensive for what this is.

I am going to LOVE drafting Esper..though so will everybody else, so...

Yeah, would definitely be good with Esperzoa, I can see it. Reveal some good artifact food for my new favorite flyer...

I am actually starting to think that an artifact deck will be viable in T2. I'm glad I held on to my tezzies!

Thanks to zesty and radical =D

I hope that Zesty, if he is an employee, is being very careful. I would rather not have the spoilers if it would be mean his job could be compromised.

Just because Wizards employees read our site, something that doesn't really take much effort in itself, doesn't mean our rumor sources come from them.

We have Bolas pretty much spoiled. We constantly spoil cards that are official WoTC previews. If this was an 'inside job', this would never happen.
But whatever, this thread is about the card, which is...eh. I doubt it would trigger very often in limited, but fliers are always fun.

Unless (a) they want you to think exactly that, it's not hard for them to realize they could throw you off that line of thought just by repeating a couple cards in the official previews. Or (b) they realize the vast majority of magicthegathering.com readers don't read this forum, so they preview those cards anyway because it gets more traffic and they can hype them further with articles about them.

Exactly what I am thinking. I was so close to trading my Tezz, but I thought "No, wait, let's see what the Conflux is cooking."

So far I am quite happy .
