Grind the Draw, Control the Turn
Brass's Tunnel-Grinder is a compact engine that rewards deliberate deck sculpting. When Brass's Tunnel-Grinder enters the battlefield you may discard any number of cards then draw that many cards plus one. Use it to cycle through dead draws, pitch spells to fuel graveyard synergies or reset your hand into a stronger configuration. The card reads like a toolbox for midrange and aggro shells that want reliable draw smoothing while keeping tempo intact.
The end step trigger adds a slow clock. If you descended this turn you put a bore counter on Brass's Tunnel-Grinder and when it accumulates three or more counters it transforms. That clause encourages aggressive board commitment and turn sequencing. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan flavor this machine feels right at home where tunneling yields both loot and threat, so expect it to appear in builds that trade early resources for a later advantage.
