Padeem on the Bench
Padeem, Consul of Innovation is a compact commander style option for artifact led blue decks. Casting for {3}{U}, this Vedalkan artificer grants hexproof to all your artifacts so they avoid opposing removal and targeted disruption. The card trades raw power for defensive utility with a 1/4 body that soaks attacks while your engines assemble.
In play Padeem guides a slow and steady game plan. The upkeep draw trigger rewards the player who builds the biggest artifact on board and keeps it online, making tutors and value artifacts excellent companions. Flavor wise Padeem fits into Foundations Jumpstart as the pragmatic curator who prefers clever contraptions to flashy threats. Add this Near Mint English print to artifact shells where protection and incremental card advantage are priorities.
