# Artisan of Kozilek Artisan of Kozilek represents a straightforward role in limited formats: a modest creature that generates incremental value through card advantage. Collectors recognize it as a functional reprint mechanic from the Eldrazi archetype, where casting cost reduction and recursion effects define the strategy. The Modern Masters 2015 printing makes it accessible compared to earlier versions, though the card itself remains a role-player rather than a format staple. Most collectors view this card through a limited lens, valuing it primarily for draft and sealed play. The foil variant appeals to those building premium versions of Eldrazi decks, though demand remains modest. Its uncommon status keeps it affordable, making it an easy pickup for set completion or casual play rather than a sought collectible.
