Clockwork Grappler
Cogwork Wrestler is a compact tempo tool that earned its place on many sideboard notes since its debut in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. This near mint foil Artifact Creature Gnome comes with flash which keeps your sequencing flexible. Play the Cogwork Wrestler on an opponent turn to disrupt a key attacker or to nerf a blocker before combat, then reclaim tempo on your own turn.
The printed ability reads as a short, decisive beatdown. When Cogwork Wrestler enters the battlefield target creature an opponent controls gets -2/-0 until end of turn so it can trade less favorably or be pushed through for extra damage. With a 1/2 body and a single Blue in its casting cost the card fits into tempo style Blue decks and artifact synergies that care about cheap bodies on demand.
