Fabricate
Sorcery
Search your library for an artifact card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
*"The secret to invention is to see something in your mind, then find where it hides in the world."*
Why Play Fabricate
Artifact-based decks value consistent access to their key pieces, making this tutoring effect essential for competitive play. The three-mana cost allows you to cast it in the early-to-mid game while still having mana available for cheaper artifacts in the same turn. Decks running powerful but expensive artifacts like Wurmcoil Engine or Karn Liberated benefit greatly from reliable search effects, while combo decks use it to find missing pieces like Thopter Foundry or Time Sieve.Format Notes
Modern sees the most competitive play for Fabricate, particularly in artifact combo decks and prison strategies that need specific hate pieces. Legacy and Vintage offer more powerful tutoring options like Tinker, reducing demand for this effect. Commander represents its strongest format presence, where the singleton nature makes tutoring effects highly valuable and the casual multiplayer environment allows time to leverage the card advantage.Combos & Synergies
Affinity decks use Fabricate to find Cranial Plating for lethal damage or Welding Jar for protection against removal. Time Sieve combo decks tutor for either the namesake card or Thopter Assembly to enable infinite turns. Artifact-based control decks search for situational answers like Tormod's Crypt against graveyard strategies or Pithing Needle to shut down problematic activated abilities, making this a versatile toolbox enabler.Featured in These Decks
