Carte Magic Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge

Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

(They cost {1} less to cast for each artifact you control.) +2: Tezzeret deals X damage to each opponent, where X is the number of artifacts you control. You gain X life. −3: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand. −8: Exile the top ten cards of your library. Put all artifact cards from among them onto the battlefield.

How it works : Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Affinity for artifacts means "This spell costs {1} less for each artifact you control."

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Tezzeret himself doesn't have affinity for artifacts.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Affinity doesn't change the spell's mana value. It changes only how much mana you pay to cast the spell.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Affinity can reduce only generic mana in a spell's cost. It can't reduce color requirements.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    The cost reduction is set before you pay any of the spell's costs. Specifically, you could lock in a discount for an artifact you control and then sacrifice that artifact to activate a mana ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If there are any additional costs or cost increases that would apply to a spell with affinity, apply those before applying any cost reductions.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    If a spell has multiple instances of affinity, each applies.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, Tezzeret's first loyalty ability causes the opposing team to lose twice X life and you gain X life.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
