Cogwork Grinder

Description

Released in 2014 as part of the Conspiracy expansion, the Magic: The Gathering trading card game card known as Cogwork Grinder holds a distinct place in collector circles. Identified by card number 57 and the set code CNS, this foil rarity represents a unique artifact creature construct designed for the set's specific drafting mechanics. The product appeals to TCG enthusiasts who appreciate the strategic depth and thematic elements of the Conspiracy era, where players draft cards face-up in a shared pool before building their decks. Cogwork Grinder functions as a powerful late-game threat within its format. The card requires six mana to cast and enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number of times it was removed from the draft process. This mechanic ties the card’s power directly to the communal drafting experience, making it a memorable piece of Magic: The Gathering history for those who played the format. Collectors often seek out the foil version for its shimmering finish and higher rarity tier compared to the nonfoil print. For investors and hobbyists, the Conspiracy set marks a pivotal moment in TCG design, introducing innovative gameplay loops that diverged from traditional booster box experiences. The 2014 release remains a cornerstone for complete set collectors aiming to capture every rare and mythic rare from the CNS code era. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of Magic: The Gathering cards or focusing on specific artifact creatures, this product offers a tangible connection to that influential year in gaming history. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, making it a standout addition to any binder or display case.
