About Mantis Engine

Mantis Engine, Artifact creature — insect, designed by John Zeleznik first released in Jun, 1999 in the set Urza's Destiny and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 5.75.

A deck focused on aggressive strategies and combat tricks would benefit from using Mantis Engine, as its abilities to gain flying and first strike can make it a versatile and difficult-to-block threat on the battlefield. However, there are potentially better options available in terms of efficiency and power level, such as Steel Hellkite or Baneslayer Angel, which offer more impactful abilities for a similar mana cost. Ultimately, whether Mantis Engine should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it is being considered for.
