About Complex Automaton
Complex Automaton, Artifact creature — golem, designed by Dana Knutson first released in Feb, 2000 in the set Nemesis. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.69.
A deck that focuses on quickly ramping up permanents on the battlefield, such as token-based strategies or artifact-heavy decks, would benefit from using Complex Automaton. However, the drawback of returning it to your hand if you control seven or more permanents might limit its effectiveness in certain situations. There are potentially better options available, like Myr Battlesphere or Wurmcoil Engine, which offer more impactful effects without the risk of bouncing back to your hand. Overall, while Complex Automaton has its niche uses, it may not be a top choice for competitive play due to its drawback.
