Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer card art
Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer turns a board of mismatched tokens into a lethal army by copying your best one — the turn you swing, every 1/1 Thopter becomes a Wurm or a Titan. Six mana is the real cost, and if you can't protect it or execute immediately, you've spent most of your turn on a creature that does nothing until combat. Saheeli, Radiant Creator and Mishra, Eminent One are the natural homes because they stockpile artifact tokens without needing Brudiclad in play first.

Mishra, Eminent One

Mishra, Eminent One

65.7% of decks · synergy 0.63

Mishra, Eminent One creates a fresh artifact token copy of one of your noncreature artifacts every combat — feed those tokens to Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer at the start of your own combat step and they all become copies of the scariest artifact creature on the board before damage is declared.

Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy

Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy

60.0% of decks · synergy 0.56

03
Rootha, Mastering the Moment

Rootha, Mastering the Moment

52.6% of decks · synergy 0.49

Rootha, Mastering the Moment generates token copies of instants and sorceries, which don't threaten on their own — Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer solves that by immediately converting the surplus tokens into combat-relevant copies of a creature token that does.

04
Saheeli, the Gifted

Saheeli, the Gifted

52.3% of decks · synergy 0.49

Saheeli, the Gifted reduces artifact costs and makes Servo tokens every turn, giving Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer a steady stream of cheap bodies to transform into something lethal at the start of combat.

49.8% of decks · synergy 0.48

Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch rewards running Myr tokens and untaps your whole artifact squad, and Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer slots in to mass-copy the most threatening Myr on the field the moment you have a wide enough board.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander legal
legacy legal
modern not legal
pioneer not legal
standard not legal
vintage legal
pauper not legal
oathbreaker legal

Commander is where Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer lives — the format's longer games give you the time to build a token base before the six-mana investment pays off, and a 43-player table means there's almost always a target worth copying. In Vintage and Legacy it's technically legal but competes with formats that end before a six-drop matters, so it never sees play there. Oathbreaker can support it as a signature spell shell if the planeswalker generates tokens, but the power ceiling is lower and games are faster, making the setup more fragile. Everywhere else, Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer is simply not legal.

Price Context

Current price

$0.35 bulk tier

At $0.35, Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer is bulk despite appearing in more than 65,000 decks, which means supply has consistently outpaced demand and there's no reason to pay above that floor. Stock up without hesitation — it's the kind of card that quietly becomes a two-dollar pickup if a new artifact-token precon pushes the archetype into the spotlight.
