Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may search your graveyard, hand, and/or library for a card with the same name as that spell and put it onto the battlefield. If you search your library this way, shuffle.
“Cast artifacts, tutor duplicates, bury them in value.”
Mishra, Artificer Prodigy is all about turning artifact spells into toolbox tutors. Every time you cast an artifact, you get to search your graveyard, hand, or library for a card with the same name and put it straight onto the battlefield. This means you're looking to play artifacts with powerful effects or duplicates you can abuse—cast a card once, then Mishra triggers let you grab a second copy or a similarly-named card you've stashed away. The deck wins through artifact synergies: token generation from token-making artifacts, card advantage engines, or simply overwhelming the table with artifact creatures and value.
Your game plan revolves around density and redundancy. Pack the deck with artifact spells that matter: mana rocks, tutors, card draw engines, and creatures. Cards like Mudstone Dagger, Ornithopter, or any artifact with a double printed name become mini-tutors. You're playing a grindy value game where each artifact spell compounds your advantage. The beauty of Mishra is that you're not locked into one path—you can pivot toward aristocrats (sacrificing tokens), voltron (pumping Mishra herself), or just pure artifact goodstuff. Expect a mid-range tempo game where you gradually bury opponents in value.

Skip expensive tutors like Mystical Tutor and use cheaper cantrips and artifact-specific tutors like Whir of Invention and Reshape; lean into bulk mana rocks over moxes.
