Scrap Welder

Description

The 2022 Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Promos release features card number 159p, introducing the creature Scrap Welder to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed as a Goblin Artificer, this Rare card carries a mana cost of two generic mana and one red mana, resulting in a mana value of three. Players utilize this three-power, three-toughness unit to manipulate their graveyard resources through a specific activated ability. By tapping the card and sacrificing an artifact with a mana value of X, Scrap Welder allows the controller to return a target artifact card from the graveyard to the battlefield. The returned artifact gains haste until the end of the turn, provided its mana value is less than X. This mechanic offers strategic flexibility, enabling rapid deployment of valuable artifacts that would otherwise remain in the graveyard. The card’s flavor text highlights the whimsical nature of the set's world, quoting a character who believes this large metal construct will make amazing wind chimes. As part of the PNEO set code, this promo card is illustrated by Simon Dominic, adding visual appeal for those building thematic collections. Collectors often seek out these promo cards to complete specific set lists or to acquire unique pieces of the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty era. The combination of the Goblin Artificer subtype and the artifact recursion effect makes this card a distinctive entry for enthusiasts of the format. Whether viewed as a gameplay tool or a collectible item, the Scrap Welder promo represents a memorable moment in the series' design history.
