Brass's Tunnel-Grinder (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Grind the Deck, Then Strike

Brass's Tunnel-Grinder rewards calculated risk and graveyard interaction. When Brass's Tunnel-Grinder enters the battlefield you may discard any number of cards then draw that many cards plus one. That sequence lets you sculpt your hand while feeding a graveyard for future plays. In practical terms this is card selection with a built in enable for descend synergies and discard payoffs.

Play it in a deck that wants repeatable value and a quick route to transformation. At your end step if you descended that turn you put a bore counter on Brass's Tunnel-Grinder and when it reaches three bore counters it transforms into a new threat. The printed timing and counters make it easy to plan around attack steps and sacrifice lines so you can trigger the flip reliably without overcommitting mana.
