Tinybones, Bauble Burglar is a two-mana artifact that lets you exile instants and sorceries from opponents' graveyards and cast them later — card advantage stapled to graveyard hate at a price most decks can afford. It's the aggro-support role that Tinybones, Trinket Thief fills from the command zone, except this version slots into the 99 anywhere black shows up.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Tinybones, Trinket Thief
Tinybones, Trinket Thief already punishes every discard trigger, and Tinybones, Bauble Burglar feeds that engine by stripping opponents' graveyards while banking spells you can cast off the value those discards generate.
Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal
Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal forces mass discard every combat, which means opponents' graveyards fill fast — Tinybones, Bauble Burglar converts that collateral into free spells before anyone can recur them.
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger hits every upkeep and drains hands dry, and Tinybones, Bauble Burglar intercepts whatever lands in graveyards so opponents can't rebuy their best answers.
Tinybones, the Pickpocket
Tinybones, the Pickpocket already wants to cast opponents' spells, and Tinybones, Bauble Burglar extends that reach into the graveyard — together they can mine a single opponent's entire stack of instants and sorceries.
Kefka, Court Mage
Kefka, Court Mage profits whenever opponents discard, and Tinybones, Bauble Burglar turns the discarded pile into a secondary hand for you, effectively doubling the punishment of every forced discard.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| pioneer | legal |
| standard | legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the clear home for Tinybones, Bauble Burglar — multiplayer tables mean more graveyards to pick through and more instants and sorceries worth stealing. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Legacy, it's too slow and too low-impact; dedicated graveyard hate runs cheaper and more redundant options. Pioneer and Standard are legal but uninterested — two mana for conditional card advantage doesn't meet the bar in those formats. Oathbreaker can use it as a signature spell supplement in black discard shells, where the exile clause doubles as protection against recursion.
