I like the new Tezzeret. He has good synergy with Karn and can help fill someones hand late game. Still, with all the token hate in the format I'm not sure how good that token is going to be even if it is a flying token.

Yeah, other PWs have made flying tokens (one not mentioned yet is Sorin, Solemn Visitor), but this is the first PW that makes flying tokens while gaining loyalty. I think...

The power of booleans comes to the rescue.
I searched Rules Text = flying, and Card Type = Planeswalker in gatherer.
Of the nine planeswalkers that came up, none have a + that creates flyers. The closes is Sarkhan,the Dragonspeaker that becomes a flyer.
I like this Tezzeret a lot. I like Tezzeret's cards in general, and I always look forward to them, but I believe that this one might see play in something in Constructed.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.
It's the first flying tokens as a + ability.
I kind of assumed they deemed that too good or something,
so I'm glad to finally see it on a card.

Interesting to see how Tezzeret's arm has evolved since he was a Seeker. Safe to say that Artifice Master will be going straight into many a Bolas commander deck.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Chainwhirler has nothing on tezz. The decks playing whirler want him coming down on curve and killing a token on turn 5 or 6 is pretty meh.
The bigger conflict is between Teferi and Tezzeret. If someone is going for that Sai value thopters deck I think Teferi has the better abilities. He can remove threats like Hazoret and Phoenix, draw you cards, and keep mana open for tools like negate and essence scatter. If karn wasn't around I might go more towards Tezzeret, but the two overlap quite a bit.

That card is totally playable in a control shell. Doesn't require much investment, once Kaladesh rotates, I can see this being played as a 1-2 of.

The question is, would you play it over Search for Azcanta? I guess maybe if you´re non-blue?
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

Every Sarkhan ever?
I assume they meant creating tokens as the defense mechanism for the Planeswalker, not as the ultimate.

Sarkhan Unbroken does do that though.

Well, Origins was not exactly a core set, though it was kind of marketed like the "last one"...
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
