Academy Manufactor: Token Assembly Line

Academy Manufactor is a compact artifact creature that reshapes token economics in any deck that can exploit clues, food, or treasures. As a 1/3 Assembly Worker, it demands a modest three colorless mana yet returns value each time your deck or permanents would generate a single token. Instead of one token it produces a trio of utility pieces. That conversion is straightforward and efficient in a Commander game where sacrifice engines, loot effects, and token synergies are common.
In the Karlov Manor environment this card reads like practical tooling from the Tolarian Academy. Use it to fuel multiple sacrifice outlets, maintain incremental card advantage, and tax attackers or blockers with artifact bodies and clues. It pairs well with repeatable token sources and cards that care about artifact or Treasure counts. Experienced players will see it as a predictable engine rather than a flashy bomb and will slot it where consistent resource generation matters most.
