Tunnel the Library

Brass's Tunnel-Grinder plays like a compact digging engine for decks that want card flow without long setup. When Brass's Tunnel-Grinder enters the battlefield you may discard any number of cards then draw that many plus one. That text makes it efficient for sculpting your hand, converting excess cards into immediate selection and a small net gain. The artwork shows a drill carved into cavern rock which fits the set tone and gives you a clear idea of the card's function at a glance.

Its second ability rewards aggressive graveyard interaction. At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, put a bore counter on Brass's Tunnel-Grinder. When it has three or more bore counters remove them and transform it. In practice it means you can use self mill or deliberate discards to trigger descent and push the artifact toward a powerful flip. Players who run discard outlets or want a repeatable card advantage engine will find this card straightforward to slot into midrange builds and graveyard centric strategies.
