A 5-mana colorless artifact with two abilities: tap to create a Blood, Clue, or Food token (your choice), and a 3-mana activated sorcery-speed ability sacrificing three differently-named artifact tokens to tutor any artifact directly onto the battlefield. It's a self-contained artifact token engine that slowly assembles its own tutor condition, making it a niche toolbox piece in artifact-matters shells. The setup cost (5 mana to deploy, then generating 3 differently-named tokens before activating the tutor) is extremely slow and telegraphed, limiting it to casual/mid-power artifact decks rather than optimized play.

• The tutor ability requires three artifact tokens with *different names* — since the first ability only makes Blood, Clue, and Food (three distinct names), you need to create all three types before you can activate the tutor, meaning a minimum of 3 activations (3 turns of tapping) just to satisfy the sacrifice cost.

• The Food, Blood, and Clue tokens produced by the first ability can also be used by other synergy pieces in the deck (e.g., Lonis for Clues, Gyome for Food) before sacrificing them, adding incidental value but potentially depleting the tokens needed for the tutor activation.

• Because the tutor puts the artifact directly onto the battlefield and is colorless, it can function as a silver-bullet toolbox piece in any commander deck regardless of color identity, but the 5-mana base cost plus 3 more mana to activate makes it much slower than dedicated artifact tutors like Fabricate or Whir of Invention.
