Legendary Creature — Human Artificer

“Copy your best abilities every turn and grind out value with a tiny blue wizard.”
Adric is a clever little ability copier that turns your activated and triggered abilities into repeated value engines. The core gameplan is to build around creatures and artifacts with strong activated abilities—like card draw, mana generation, or tutoring—then use Adric to copy them over and over. You're essentially doubling down on the best abilities in your deck, turning a one-shot effect into a persistent engine that grinds out advantage. As a bonus, Adric's sacrifice mode gives you a flexible counter for problematic abilities, making him a versatile utility player.
Wins come through steady card advantage and mana generation that lets you outpace the table, eventually landing a haymaker spell or commander damage through evasion. The deck is control-leaning midrange—you're not rushing anyone down, but you're protecting yourself while assembling an inevitability engine. Pair Adric with creatures like Trinket Mage, Snapcaster Mage, or artifact mana dorks, then load up on effects you want to repeat: card draw, tutoring, creature tokens, or even evasion tricks. The small body means you're rarely the threat; your copied abilities are.

Skip pricey tutors like Mystical Tutor; use cheaper draw and ramp instead (Opt, Archmage's Charm, Counterspell budget reprints).
