Reliable Gemguard
Adaptive Gemguard is a compact artifact creature that earns its slot in white artifact synergy decks. For {3}{W} you get a 3/3 Gnome that grows through board interaction rather than combat alone. Its activated ability requires tapping two untapped artifacts and or creatures you control to place a +1/+1 counter on Adaptive Gemguard and can only be activated as a sorcery. In practice this turns tokens and cheap artifacts into incremental upgrade fuel and gives you a reliable midrange threat that scales with the resources you keep on the battlefield.
Play it where you can consistently tap two permanents each turn and the card becomes a steady clock and a counter sink. It pairs well with token makers and artifacts that can untap or be recurred so you can convert tempo into permanent growth. The foil medium play printing shows the same printed rules and flavor for collectors and players who want a playable, visually appealing copy from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
