Briber's Purse card art
Briber's Purse taps to put a gold counter on a creature and shut it out of attacking or blocking for the turn — repeatable, colorless soft removal on a stick. The catch is that each activation costs {<span class="card-name deferred">X</span>} to load the purse first, so it scales with what you can afford each turn. Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Fblthp, Lost on the Range both run it specifically because their engines want cheap artifacts in the yard or on top of the library, not because the tap effect is cheap.

Fblthp, Lost on the Range puts the top card of your library into play as a forecast trigger, and Briber's Purse is exactly the low-cost artifact that keeps the chain moving while also handling a blocker on the turn you need to swing through.

Briber's Purse sees virtually no play in competitive formats — Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer all have faster, cheaper interaction that doesn't require mana investment just to arm the effect. Commander is where it actually earns a slot, specifically in artifact-matters builds that benefit from a colorless, reusable source of pseudo-removal that also doubles as an artifact synergy piece. The zero-mana cast with a pay-on-activation structure means it enters play free, which matters for commanders that care about artifacts hitting the battlefield. Outside Commander, treat Briber's Purse as a bulk curiosity rather than a constructed staple.

Price Context

Current price

$0.54 bulk tier

At $0.54, Briber's Purse sits firmly in bulk territory and is unlikely to climb without a high-profile reprint or breakout combo discovery. Pick it up cheaply for any artifact synergy build that wants it — there's no financial risk at this price point.
