Duskworker is a recursive artifact creature that untaps itself when another artifact enters under your control, making it a persistent threat in any artifact-dense shell. The floor is a 2/1 for two mana that keeps coming back; the ceiling is infinite-untap fodder in the right combo.

In Commander, Duskworker slots cleanly into artifact synergy decks — the untap trigger fires constantly and the self-recursion from the graveyard means single removal spells rarely stick. Legacy and Vintage have access to faster, more broken artifact engines, so Duskworker doesn't compete at the top tables there but can appear in casual or budget builds that want a resilient body. Modern is the format where Duskworker has the most realistic competitive niche, particularly in artifact aggro or combo shells that need cheap recurring pieces. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — artifact commanders love a card that refuses to stay dead.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Duskworker is deep bulk — grab a playset for under a dollar without thinking twice. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point rarely spike unless a combo breaks wide open, so treat it as a free inclusion, not a pickup to hoard.
