About Foundry Inspector
Foundry Inspector, Artifact creature — construct, designed by Jason A. Engle first released in May 2020 in the set Kaladesh and was printed exactly in 15 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Pauper. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.51. It's a key card in 9 combos.
Foundry Inspector would benefit decks that focus on casting multiple artifact spells, such as artifact-based decks or artifact ramp decks. While Foundry Inspector can be a useful addition to such decks by reducing the cost of casting artifact spells, there are potentially better cards like Jhoira's Familiar, which not only reduces the cost of artifact spells but also gives them additional benefits. However, Foundry Inspector can still be a solid inclusion in decks looking to maximize their artifact synergy and should see play in the right context.

Once a player has announced an artifact spell, no player may take actions to try to remove Foundry Inspector from the battlefield before that spell's cost is locked in.
