Smith the Moonlit Engine
Thousand Moons Smithy is a compact engine piece that earns its slot in artifact and white token builds. When Thousand Moons Smithy enters the battlefield you get a white Gnome Soldier artifact creature token whose power and toughness each equal the number of artifacts and creatures you control. That immediate body scales cleanly with tokens and cheap artifacts, so the Smithy rewards any plan that populates the board early and keeps pressure consistent into mid game.
Beyond the entry trigger the Smithy gives you a predictable transform line. At the beginning of your precombat main phase you may tap five untapped artifacts and or creatures you control to transform Thousand Moons Smithy. It is straightforward to assemble in decks that already want to tap a cluster of permanents, and it slots into token synergies without adding needless complexity. For players who value incremental advantage and reliable board development the foil printing from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan looks the part and reads like a utility staple.
