Brass's Tunnel Grinder — Ready to Drill
Brass's Tunnel Grinder is a compact, player friendly artifact that rewards deliberate digging. When Brass's Tunnel Grinder enters the battlefield you may discard any number of cards then draw that many cards plus one. That simple exchange smooths rough hands and fuels graveyard strategies while leaving room in your curve for follow up plays.
The card also asks you to plan your turns. At the beginning of your end step if you descended this turn you put a bore counter on Brass's Tunnel Grinder. When it accrues three or more bore counters you remove them and transform it. That second face typically converts the grinder from a utility tutor into a late game threat. Brass's Tunnel Grinder fits cleanly into red sacrifice builds and graveyard focused decks from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
