Soldevi Machinist untaps an artifact you control at the cost of one blue mana, turning any mana-producing artifact into pseudo-mana-doubling on demand. It's narrow by design, but in a deck built around artifact mana or activated abilities, that one-mana untap is doing real work.

Soldevi Machinist is a Commander card — full stop. In 100-card singleton, the ability to repeatedly untap a Sol Ring, Basalt Monolith, or Grim Monolith is a meaningful engine piece, especially in artifact-heavy builds where the effect compounds. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant; the effect is too slow and too conditional to compete at those tables. Soldevi Machinist lives and dies in Commander, where games go long enough for a two-mana creature with a repeatable untap ability to generate real advantage.

Price Context
Current price
$0.26 bulk tier
At $0.26, Soldevi Machinist is bulk — the price of a card most players already own from an old collection. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply from older sets is sufficient, so don't expect movement in either direction.
