Tunnel-Grinder Ready to Dig
Brass's Tunnel-Grinder is a compact tool for red artifact decks that value card selection and late game payoff. When Brass's Tunnel-Grinder enters the battlefield you may discard any number of cards then draw that many cards plus one which turns clunky hands into immediate options. The effect plays clean with looting loops and graveyard synergies and lets you sculpt a hand while fueling descent triggers in a single turn.
Its secondary ability puts a bore counter on Brass's Tunnel-Grinder at the beginning of your end step if you descended that turn. Hit three bore counters and it transforms, unlocking the next phase of the plan. Use it to dig for threats, pitch situational cards, and trigger graveyard interactions in a way that rewards committed excavation. Practical, efficient and straightforward to pilot in decks that want predictable card flow and a transform payoff.
