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)

Oh no, he's far too narrow to see much play. After all, he only interacts with artifacts, and c'mon, it's not like anybody has ever done well playing an artifact-based deck. I mean, Nissa has a whole tribe of (mostly) green creatures to interact with, not a fundamental card type.

Seriously, Tezzeret's a BAMF. He can do things like animating Darksteel Citadel into a 5/5 indestructible artifact land creature. He enables Inkmoth Nexus to swing for five poison in the air. And all you need is five artifacts on the board for a 20-point life swing.

Yeah, he's good.

The art is too freaking epic.

Yeah, he's a bit narrow. So what? It's better that way, imho. And he's still gonna kick butt.

When I first saw Tezz 2.0 I wasn't too impressed, his effect on Standard format seemed pretty minimal. Then I realized "Hey, wait. I play Legacy Affinity". It was at that point that I looked at him again and realized his -4 ability in fact reads "If you are playing Affinity, you win the game".
So while I'm not terribly impressed with him for standard format, he is almost the perfect planeswalker for Legacy format Affinity decks. If you play him and he sticks for just 1 turn, you win the game. Also, the fact that he can protect himself by tutoring up a creature or turning one of your artifact lands into a 5/5 blocker is rather awesome as well.
Great job on this one Wizards!

Infect Artifacts! ichorclaw myr, plague myr, vector asp... the list goes on. I changed my infect deck from mono-black to black-blue just to put him in there. I added the new proliferate counterspell and a few thrumming birds and shape anews. this guy makes my infect artifact creatures equivilant to a 10/5 normal creature. Awesome!

I love this art. He's just standing there like, "Ya. I'm badass, so don't mess with me if you want that life total to stay where it is." I love him for that.

Liquimetal Coating on him, -1, you are now the proud owner of an ARTIFACT CREATURE PLANESWALKER. Who cares about removal, you have an ARTIFACT CREATURE PLANESWALKER.
