Character Background
The Laser Screwdriver reads like a compact multi-tool that fits both flavor and function: it can supply any color of mana, jam opponent artifacts, scan the top of your deck, or provoke an attacker to fight where you want. That versatility makes it a value instrument in midrange/control shells that prize flexible answers rather than raw aggression — it stabilizes mana, disrupts opposing combo or equipment, and fuels graveyard synergies through Surveil. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with artifact-untap effects (e.g., Voltaic Key) or cards that care about repeated artifact activation to convert the single-tap modes into recurring utility, and include delve or rekindle targets to exploit the surveil mill. In aggressive builds the goad mode can push combat angles, but the card shines in slow games where incremental advantage matters: slot it in mana-fixing artifact suites, artifact-based control, or graveyard-value decks as a cheap, flexible tool that answers many board states.
