Forge Your Advantage with Ingenious Smith

Ingenious Smith is a quietly formidable addition to any white artifact-centric deck from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Upon entering the battlefield, it grants you a tactical peek at the top four cards of your library, letting you extract an artifact card to your hand while shuffling the rest back. This immediate card selection sharpens your artifact strategy by ensuring your next move is always calculated and resourceful.

Beyond its initial utility, Ingenious Smith thrives in synergy with artifact tokens or other artifact creatures. Each turn it sees one or more artifacts arrive under your control, it gains a +1/+1 counter, steadily growing into a resilient threat. This slow but steady progression pairs well with cards that produce multiple artifacts or go wide on the board, making it a keystone for artifact-based control or midrange decks.

This ability triggers only once each turn.
