Cogworker's Puzzleknot enters and makes a 1/1 Thopter, then you can sacrifice it for another — two artifacts and two tokens for two mana, but only if you spend an extra colorless to crack it. Outside of decks that specifically reward artifacts entering or leaving the battlefield, the rate is too slow and too fragmented to justify a slot.

Cogworker's Puzzleknot is a card for Commander artifact synergy decks first and everywhere else almost never. In Commander, it fits Breya, Etherium Shaper or Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain shells that need cheap artifact count — the double-trigger on enter and sacrifice lets it ping two separate effects for two mana. In Pauper it sees fringe play in Affinity builds that care about artifact count over raw power. Legacy, Modern, Vintage, and Pioneer have enough efficient artifact options that Cogworker's Puzzleknot doesn't compete — it's legal in all four but never played.

Price Context
Current price
$0.13 bulk tier
At $0.13, Cogworker's Puzzleknot is deep bulk — you'll find it in any common lot or dollar-bin. The price is stable for the same reason it's low: demand is narrow enough that it never spikes, and supply from reprints keeps the floor flat.
