Reverse Engineer would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on artifacts and has a high artifact count, as it can be cast more easily with the improvise ability. However, there are better card draw options available in Magic: the Gathering, such as Thirst for Knowledge or Fact or Fiction, which provide card advantage without requiring specific conditions to be met. While Reverse Engineer could see play in artifact-heavy decks, it may not be the optimal choice for card draw in most situations.
