Refurbished Familiar: Lean Casting, Quiet Card Advantage
Refurbished Familiar is an artifact creature with flying and a built in affinity for artifacts. In artifact heavy decks, its mana cost drops for each artifact you control, letting you cast it sooner. The flying body keeps pressure on the ground and fits neatly into artifact shells as a dependable beater that accelerates your longer game plan.
When Refurbished Familiar enters the battlefield, each opponent discards a card. For each opponent who can't, you draw a card. This effect yields both disruption and card advantage, and scales with the number of opponents you face. In Modern Horizons 3, it demonstrates how a compact frame can add tempo and resource generation in a single package when you lean into artifact synergy.
