On release day I pulled 3 of these from the same FatPack :D
Two weeks later got 2 more from a box. Not complaining at all.

I'm happy I bought 2 of these for $40 from a kid the other day...

Works great with those Artifact lands in vintage and legacy. Like Seat of Synod and Vault of Whispers

I never thought of the Infect thing...

What I've been using him for is simply turning Darksteel Axe into a 5/5, Chrome Steed into a 7/7, and if I draw him early enough I turn an Etched Champion into a 5/5 before I have Metalcraft. But now you guys have made me think about Infect, damn it, back to the drawing board for another few hours.

And wow, so many people are getting him in Fat Packs. He was in my Fat Pack too. And when my friends and I split a booster box, one of us got Tezz as well. Mythic Rares are all of a sudden not too rare, it seems (I also got Glissa and Praetor's Counsel in my Fatty).

The overwhelming consensus is that the -1 ability will not overwrite other things about the artifact, and I accept that. I just wish it was a little less ambiguous what with cards that have very similarly worded abilities (Incite) that overwrite characteristics.

I'm confused, if I use Tezz's 2nd ability on a Inkmoth Nexus who is turned into a 1/1 Artifact Infect does the Inkmoth Nexus's ability still end and the end of turn step?

Hits the magical 4-cc range? CHECK
Can go Ulti in one turn or less? CHECK
Virtually broken in the right deck? CHECK
Belongs to a color/s that can support his cause? CHECK

This guy can easily be the cornerstone of a well thought-out artifact-heavy deck. IMHO, this guy is waaaay more flexible than Tezz 1.0 with the exception of color, and unlike the first version, can protect himself as he comes down. Aggro or control build doesn't matter. This guy can make those steel weenies huge, and those "useless" counter-dependent artifacts 5/5 beatsticks.

ps: you don't need to have 10 artifacts in play to win with his ultimate. the other guy should have lost some life at this point in the game.

Advice needed in re possible trade that incl Tezz 2.0 & Vengevine for a foil Sword of Feast & Famine & Koth. Question is who is getting the better deal? Thanks in advance!

@scumbling1
Actually, I feel that I can fully disagree with you.
His "Search for an artifact" effect on the original was a negative one. This allowed to search all of your library, but would most likely kill Tezz to do what you needed. This Tezz limits it to the top five cards, but it's a +1 ability, AND with blue's ability to pretty much fix draws, this is very efficient.
His "All artifacts become 5/5 till end of turn." was his original ultimate. This was a finisher, and if someone could prevent combat damage, or whatever, you've wasted him. This Tezz has it only as a -1 ability, and it's PERMANENT, and it's one of his most sought-after, as it makes cheap artifacts or artifact creatures with decent abilities a great threat. Very beneficial to protect him, or just beat away at your opponent.
Comparing the "Untap two artifacts" and this Tezz's ultimate is silly. Two entirely different things. However, where the untap is amazingly beneficial, new Tezz's ultimate is quite the effect, ... (see all)

Extremely potent, excellent finisher, and just under as powerful as the original Tez as far as conjuring up artifacts. He's not the combo-god that Tezzeret the Seeker was, but he's a clear threat in an artifact deck that has to be dealt with in 1-2 turns. He'll see at least some constructed play, and I'll be pretty damn surprised if he doesn't show up anywhere else. 5/5.

I love that Wizards is finally printing planeswalkers that don't fit in every deck. Jace2 was awesome, but I didn't like him being required for blue in Standard. Koth is my 3rd most hated after Elspeth, Knight-Errant, but only because people seem obsessed with running him in every red deck ever. Machine-Koth is what he was meant for, and don't you forget it!

hes definitely good for an artifact deck which is good since mirrodan has a s*** load of artifacts. as for what side he's on, apparently he's working with the Phyrexians on Bolas's orders but is mainly just spying....im surprised the phyrexians didnt just zerg him and turn him into one of them

Just got back from prerelease tournament, went 3-1-0, and pulled a Tezzy in one of the Mirran packs I won as a prize. Got a little shorted as far as rares went during the event, so I was very glad to pull him, even after the fact. Got some great uncommon red bombs and equipment, so my deck was pretty strong anyway. Got a huge stack of artifacts from the last set, so I'm looking forwards to throwing Tezzeret in a new artifact deck.

I love how working for Bolas automatically adds 1B to a walker's cost.

...question that will probably be answered for me tomorrow...

Since he's not affiliated with either side of the war, which of the two prerelease faction packs will he be in? Or will he be missing entirely?

If anyone pulls one let me know, I'm curious.

Infect...just got hell of a lot stronger.

Ichorclaw Myr, Necropede, Plague Myr...Cheap 1/1 infect creatures become 5/5 infect creatures.

Liquimetal Coating on a Plague Stinger, Tezzeret, 5/5 flying infect creature.

I LOVE that his ultimate can be pulled off with only a Single Proliferate beforehand.

I was all like "yeah this guy is good, I would put him into an artifact deck for sure!"
Then I saw the word twice and shat myself
