About Optical Optimizer
Optical Optimizer, Artifact — contraption, designed by Jason Felix first released in Dec, 2017 in the set Unstable. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.70.
This card, Optical Optimizer, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on artifact synergies or creature-based strategies that benefit from drawing cards. It could be particularly useful in decks that utilize artifact creatures or have ways to untap creatures for repeated card draw. While there may be more powerful cards with similar effects, the unique combination of turning a creature into an artifact and providing card draw makes Optical Optimizer a versatile and potentially valuable inclusion in the right deck. Its playability would depend on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck it is included in.
