Chief Engineer

Description

The Chief Engineer foil card, designated as number 47 in the Magic 2015 set (M15), features the creature type Vedalken Artificer. This rare card from the 2014 release carries a mana cost of {1}{U} and a mana value of 2. The card's primary gameplay function involves the convoke ability, allowing creatures you control to tap when casting artifact spells to help pay for the cost. Each tapped creature contributes either {1} or one mana of that creature's color toward the total cost. The card has a power and toughness of 1/3, positioning it as a low-cost defensive option that supports broader artifact strategies. The artwork for this card was created by Steven Belledin, whose illustration complements the mechanical theme of the character. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often look to complete their Magic 2015 checklist, and the foil finish of this parallel adds visual distinction to the base rare slot. The flavor text, "An eye for detail, a mind for numbers, a soul of clockwork," reinforces the character's identity as a meticulous craftsperson. This card remains a recognizable piece of the Modern Horizons era for players who enjoy building artifact-focused decks. The combination of the Vedalken subtype and the Artificer subtype makes it a thematic fit for strategies centered around constructed objects and technology.
