Saheeli, the Gifted card art
Saheeli, the Gifted reduces the cost of every artifact you cast by one generic mana per artifact you control, which snowballs fast enough to land something like Mycosynth Lattice several turns ahead of schedule. The cost is a four-mana planeswalker with no immediate protection — she dies to the first creature that attacks her unless you've already built a 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 banned

Saheeli, the Gifted is legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage, but banned in Oathbreaker — the ban there stems from the planeswalker-as-commander rule, where her cost-reduction ability becomes trivially abusable with a known signature spell every game. Legacy and Vintage could theoretically run her, but four mana is a steep ask in formats that win on turn one or two, and she sees essentially no play in either. Commander is where she actually lives: the longer game gives her cost-reduction ability time to compound, artifact-heavy pods keep her ability relevant across multiple turns, and the singleton format caps the consistency ceiling that made Oathbreaker nervous.

Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer creates a Myr token on combat and then converts your whole token army into copies of your best token — Saheeli, the Gifted accelerates the expensive artifact payoffs that make that mass-conversion lethal, letting Brudiclad land his threats a full turn or two sooner than a stock build.

Pricing data for Saheeli, the Gifted isn't currently available here, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for the live number before buying. She's a mythic from a Commander precon with meaningful combo applications, so supply is finite — if you're building an artifact deck that wants her effect, there's no budget substitute that does the same job.
