OrnithopterutilityBudget$0.37A classic zero-mana artifact creature that fills the same free-permanent role and is often used for artifact count, affinity, and sacrifice synergies.Phyrexian Walkerutility$1.21Another 0-mana creature that provides a free body for creature-based and sacrifice-based synergies, similar to Memnite's role as a free board presence.Shield Sphereutility$7.84A zero-mana artifact creature that functions as a free artifact permanent for metalcraft, affinity, and artifact recursion decks.GingerbruteutilityBudget$0.16Not free like Memnite, but it is a very cheap artifact creature that serves as an evasive early attacker in artifact-centric decks.Hope of Ghirapurutility$3.12A cheap artifact creature that can apply early pressure while also enabling artifact synergies, often occupying the same deck slots as Memnite in aggressive shells.Signal PestutilityBudget$0.37Like Memnite, this is a low-cost artifact creature commonly played to enable artifact synergies and support fast aggressive starts.Vault SkirgeutilityBudget$0.28A very cheap artifact creature that can come down early and help aggressive artifact decks, trading free cost for lifelink and evasion.Toolcraft ExemplarutilityBudget$0.10In artifact-heavy decks, it fills a similar role as an early aggressive one-drop that becomes much more threatening with artifacts on board.
