Legendary Creature — Gnome Artificer

Mono-white artifact toolbox that climbs the mana curve with Oswald's sacrifice tutor, locking opponents with stax pieces and winning through artifact combos.

For {W} and a tap, Oswald sacrifices an artifact and searches for an artifact with mana value exactly one higher, putting it straight onto the battlefield. It works only at sorcery speed. The deck is built as a ladder: a 0-mana artifact becomes a 1, a 1 becomes a 2, and so on. Each rung is either a useful card on its own or a combo piece. Because the search puts cards into play, expensive artifacts can arrive without being cast, which dodges counterspells.
In the recorded games, Oswald fetched pieces like Mana Vault, Thousand-Year Elixir, The One Ring and Staff of Domination. One clear finish used Rings of Brighthearth with Basalt Monolith for infinite colorless mana, then Goblin Cannon to kill the table. Paradox Engine was another combo route. Slower lists recurred artifacts with Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler. Stax cards such as Lodestone Golem, Null Rod and Ensnaring Bridge slowed opponents down, and Crystal Barricade helped against token swarms. The weak points were Pithing Needle naming Oswald, board wipes, Portable Hole and bounce or counterspells aimed at key artifacts.
