Daretti, Scrap Savant

Daretti, Scrap Savant originally debuted in the 2014 Commander anthology release, designed as a planeswalker card specifically tailored for the multiplayer format. Created by Wizards of the Coast design teams, the character was envisioned as a goblin artificer hailing from the plane of Fiora, representing a departure from the traditional human-centric planeswalker aesthetic. The card’s design focused on graveyard synergy and artifact recursion, filling a niche for red-aligned resource management that was highly valued by players at the time of its release.

The inclusion of this specific card in 'The List'—a curated selection of reprints inserted into later booster packs—serves to maintain availability for players looking to incorporate established cards into their decks. The original artwork, illustrated by Adam Paquette, emphasizes Daretti’s mechanical ingenuity and his close relationship with his constructs. Upon its debut, the card was well-received for its unique play pattern and distinct personality, eventually becoming a staple choice for players focused on artifact-heavy deck strategies.
