Artifact Creature - Sphinx. Rare

When ~ comes into play you may search your libary for an artifact creature card reveal it and put it into your hand, then shuffle your libary.
3/3
Unfortunately, I'll stick to Sharuum and/or Tezzeret (comparable bombs in the same vein). Artifact tutoring needs to be efficient to work, and this is no Trinket Mage 2.0.
Still, I think it's strong enough to warrant testing, and I think it's looking strong as a card in block.
Interesting card, would be really good with the transmuter, put it into play, get something, replace it with that thing, repeat as desired.
Incidentally I've been messing with the orb, this means all instances of artifact are taken up, which is odd given I thought aethersworn adjudicator was from esper.

Exactly, that could get stupid real quick. And with some thousand year elixer its the engine so nice you can get do it twice.
Nice tutor ability, but i'm pretty dissapointed at it being a 3/3 for 3UB, I think a 3/4, 4/4 or even 4/5 could have been justified. Still limited nice, constructed potential if a good artifact based combo comes around.
This guy is pretty solid. Costing 5 means he sits under Sharuum in the curve. If he trades with removal or another creature the turn he comes out then your Sharuum just got a lot of bang for its buck- a 5/5 flyer, a 3/3 flyer and a free artifact from out of your deck for 6 mana.
Usually basing how good a card is off another card is bad... except when one of those cards is an excellent tutor. Midrange Esper control could become a pretty solid deck with this to work with.

I don't think it'll go constructed anytime soon. There just aren't enough good counterspells for such a deck I think.

If I could think of a terrifying artifact to grab with it, and it was a 4/4 flyer, I'd use it. But I can't think of any artifacts that are that much of a bomb in standard (Ethersworn Canonist is good but not so much in Type 2 right now).

now THIS you try to make a deck around flickering it in and out every turn hehe
such a shame about the high cmc though. im sure there will be bette things to do at 5 mana
But I can't think of any artifacts that are that much of a bomb in standard
You don't consider Sharuum the Hegemon to be a bomb? She's a monster. The card that does hurt the prevalence of an Esper strategy around these two monsters is Celestial Purge, since they are both Black.

Not enough to play it in a constructed deck, no. In limited she means GG, though.
Well, people, it's Terror-Proof, Tutors, flies, and is reusable(/abusable) With Master Transmuter and some thousand-year elixir(s). If you want, you can even tutor up and many artifacts with this and the Transmuter as many times as you have blue mana. >_> Dont forget the set this was released in, this could be
~Random Thought~
Lol, My brother just told me a way to break Glaze Fiend W/ the Transmuter.
It's understandable blue control players would be shocked and in denial at the notion of this card, since their decks have been dominating multiple formats for an eternity yet they've curiously never once had to deal with any counter-hosers that weren't ineffectual, narrow CRAP.
The effect itself is pretty good, as tutoring is always a premium ability. The 3/3 body leaves a lot to be desired though. Apparently, being multicolored does not get you a P/T boost anymore.

This is Fabricate on a Phantom Monster! Frankly, I'm surprised it doesn't cost more! Whether it'll have any impact on constructed formats I don't know, but it's certainly above the curve.
Play this, Search Sharuum. Chump with this. Play Sharuum, get this back and search a 2nd Sharuum. Add something that triggers when a creature CitP or goes to graveyard for infinite.

Like Deathgreeter, Glaze Fiend, or the like. The combo is doable in standard with just 2 sharuums, but this makes it a lot easier to pull off.
Switching two copies of this or this and Sharuum the Hegemon with Master Transmuter= GG if they dont have removal or you can counter said removal. Also its easy to make thier removal miss if you only switch in response to removal or when they are tapped out/you are able to counter.

When you keep removing/returning this thing, it becomes hard to lose anymore.
