Deadeye Quartermaster enters and tutors any Equipment or Vehicle directly to your hand — that's a guaranteed two-for-one on a four-mana body. The cost is real: four mana for a 2/2 with no immediate board impact means you're folding if the tutored piece can't close a gap fast, but in any deck built around artifacts Edward Kenway wants to wield, that gap gets closed.

Edward Kenway's whole game is suiting up and swinging, so Deadeye Quartermaster acts as a toolbox tutor — finding whatever Equipment the board state demands rather than hoping to draw it naturally.

Deadeye Quartermaster is a Commander card through and through. In 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy, a four-mana 2/2 that replaces itself with an artifact is simply too slow when faster and more powerful tutors exist, and it will almost never see serious play there. In Commander, the singleton constraint is exactly what makes it worthwhile — you only get one copy of any given Equipment, and Deadeye Quartermaster collapses the variance on finding it. Run it in any artifact-centric Commander deck where missing a specific piece means the engine stalls.

Price Context
Current price
$0.36 bulk tier
At $0.36, Deadeye Quartermaster is bulk — easy to pick up without a second thought. Bulk tutors with narrow scope rarely spike unless a synergistic commander breaks into the mainstream, so expect the price to stay flat.
