This seems pretty interesting. Obviously it can get back any one artifact in your graveyard, but you can also opt to stack your deck for shenanigans with cards like Enigma Sphinx or Brass Herald(in a golem deck :D).

Its instant nature makes this a fairly okay card.

Reminds me of reinforcements.

Costs one more than I thought it would, but then again, it's an Instant.

Drafna's Restoration with cantrip and instant speed, in white, for {3} extra.

Its actually not a real cantrip, as when it resolves, you'll draw one of the artifacts you put on the top. it should have read:

"Put any number of target artifact cards from your graveyard on top of your library.
Add an artifact card from your Graveyard to your hand."

This seems pretty abusable. You could theoretically Grindclock yourself, then pull what ever artifacts you want out of the grave, pick the order, and then draw one off the top.

What bothers me about this card is that it's precisely Footbottom Feast, with "creature card" turned to "artifact card" and {B} turned to {W}... except that there's {1} added to the cost. I love natural parallels, and I hate it when the parallels are broken.

Apart from that it's a nice design.

I'm with MGJ. It doesn't say "in any order" like other cards (which haven't been errated either).

And if you can't chose the order, does the top-most artifact in your graveyard go ontop first, or last?

I wouldn't be so concerned if judges were good and/or consistant.

I like this card although I am not really get used to the white "equipment" or "metalcraft" theme.

This card fulfills nearly all my wishes for a white card. It's focused on the "re-use" theme, is a cantrip that can be played similar to cycling if you don't have artifacts in your graveyard. Therefore I like this much more than Salvage Scout.

However, I miss the old Mirrodin restriction like on Leonin Squire.

I've seen some other people asking, and I'm curious too: what order do the cards go on top of your library?

P.S. This is great in an artifact deck. If too much of your stuff gets destroyed, just throw this down and bring it ALL back to life.

Notice the nigh shirtless males. Let the feminists be saddened that Mtg just likes scantily clad people in general.

Meh, cantrip is usually praised as the ability of a card to replace itself, which this card does.

Really want to see this go with puresteel paladin and mycosynth golem on the field.
