Reconfigure {2}{U} ({2}{U}: Attach to target creature you control; or unattach from a creature. Reconfigure only as a sorcery. While attached, this isn't a creature.)

Strategy
The Reality Chip turns your library into a second hand by letting you play the top card whenever it's attached to a creature. This creates a soft card-advantage engine that rewards you for having a creature in play and generating consistent value turn after turn. You're essentially drawing extra cards while maintaining tempo, which is perfect for a tempo-focused or midrange shell.
Your gameplan revolves around attaching the Chip to an evasive or resilient creature—something that can slip through damage reliably or protect itself. Once it's attached, you're effectively tutoring your library every turn, which means you can sequence your draws perfectly and maximize the value of tutors, card draw, and filtering. The flexibility of reconfiguring lets you pivot: attach it to push damage through, or unattach it as a defensive measure if needed.
You win by grinding out value with a creature-focused tempo or midrange deck. The Chip accelerates your mana production, smooths your draws, and applies pressure while digging for answers. Build around evasive threats (flying, unblockable), creatures with built-in protection, or tools that make your creature hard to block. Since it's a low-cost artifact, it slots naturally into any blue-based strategy that plays creatures and wants consistent card access.
