Character Background
Cid, Timeless Artificer, perfectly encapsulates the enduring legacy and collective genius often associated with the character across Final Fantasy titles, translated into a potent anthem effect. This {2}{W}{U} 4/4 isn't just a solid body; it's the linchpin for an **aggro-midrange** strategy centered around a critical mass of Artificers. The brilliance lies in its ability to buff Artifact creatures and Heroes based on Artificers *you control* and *in your graveyard*, meaning every fallen inventor still contributes to the grand design. The "any number" clause is where Cid truly shines: playing multiple Cids creates a compounding effect, each one boosting the others and contributing to the Artificer count for every creature on the board. Even cycling a Cid early for {W}{U} isn't a loss; it simply adds to your graveyard count, priming future Cids for larger buffs while drawing you closer to your next play. A key deckbuilding tip is to flood your deck with cheap Artificer creatures and leverage the self-synergy of multiple Cids to create an overwhelming, increasingly powerful board state that quickly closes games.
