Tetzin, Gnome Champion — Salvage Specialist
Tetzin, Gnome Champion sits at the intersection of artifact synergies and graveyard recursion. As a Legendary Artifact Creature with a compact 2/2 body, Tetzin rewards decks that draft into a steady supply of double faced artifacts or that mill aggressively. When Tetzin or another double faced artifact enters under your control you mill three cards and get a targeted opportunity to salvage an artifact from those milled cards into your hand, which makes this card a reliable engine for value and toolbox assembly.
Crafting Tetzin back from exile calls for six artifacts plus the crafting cost which fits themes that lean heavy into artifact tokens and sacrificing. In Commander decks Tetzin functions both as a mill enabler and as a value sink for sacrificed pieces. Expect slow build ups where you trade small amounts of card advantage for a recurring artifact threat that can flip the late game board state in your favor.
