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)

Gives you card advantage and ends games on his second turn. Can something be more broken than this?

The thing that I like the best about this card is the slight element of surprise with his last ability. I think that every game that I've used Tezzeret's -4, it's always been for a ton of life, and I've won the game by it.

I'll have like 5 artifacts out that my opponent has been busy dealing with (some of them 5/5 creatures, thanks to good ol' tezzeret), have 2 or 3 cheap but good artifacts in my hand (like spellskite, ratchet bomb, or contagion clasp) play the artifacts, use the -4, and call it a day :)

One time, I got to use his -4 to do 20 damage. It was awesome!

this is an incredibly lazily designed planeswalker. the first ability is boring, and probably them just trying to conserve design space. the second ability is just what they use to make this guy a mythic. all they did was let you use tezzeret the seeker's ultimate earlier. not particularly creative. but the last ability...oh god...it doesn't even do anything! sure, it'll win you some games, but it's not fun to use!

Liquimetal Coating + -1 ability + Swiftfoot Boots + Darksteel Plate = Tezzeret becomes a terminator.

Wait, so Tezzeret (a planeswalker) is an agent of Nicol Bolas (also a planeswalker) and is also loyal to you (another planeswalker). How does that make sense flavor-wise?

@SunshineTheBlond: Then play Prismatic Omen. This, on top of what C5r1a5z0y said make him a:

Legendary Snow Artifact Creature Enchantment Land Planeswalker - Plains Island Swamp Mountain Forest Tezzeret

In addition to every creature type. :D

A great card to build a deck around. Especially, an infect deck.
Vector Asp+Necropede+Plague Myr+tezz, beetch of bolas = overpoisoned dude

Hexproof does not help planeswalkers that become creatures from burn spells. I know you didn't say it did but just to tell you a player can cast lightning bolt targeting his opponent the redirect the damage to the planeswalker without actually targeting the planeswalker.

@Whitey_Windragon: Not just Darksteel Relic works as a big indestructible beat-'em-up creature with Tezzy: Darksteel Axe, Darksteel Myr, Darksteel Plate....this sounds like a wacky deck idea...

Also Vault Skirge can be a nifty beater and you can turn a Phyrexian Metamorph into a 5/5 once its done some other job.
