Imskir Iron-Eater Artifact Driven Demon
Imskir Iron-Eater stands out in artifact heavy decks from Modern Horizons 3. Its affinity for artifacts reduces its casting cost for each artifact you control, letting you accelerate into a high impact demon. The art shows a towering figure wreathed in fire and molten metal, underscoring the artifact theme. When this legendary demon enters the battlefield you draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is half the number of artifacts you control, rounded down. This ETB trigger rewards a well timed play with immediate card advantage at the cost of some life.
Beyond the entrance Imskir can punish with an artifact sacrifice. Its activated ability costs 3R and requires you to sacrifice an artifact to deal damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's mana value to any target. This flexibility lets you pressure opponents or push through reach when the board stalls, leveraging artifacts you already have on the battlefield.
