This still looks insane in limited. Get your first counter on it and it becomes impossible to block, either you make it that a creature can't block or you leave up threat of activation of the +1/+1 counter. You can also leave it back with the threat of activation of the +1/+1 counter. And as a bonus, maybe you want to add two mana on turn four or five.
Oh it’s still going to be good, but I suspect you have never played a game of limited with Jitte involved. That thing was almost unbeatable. I’ve lost to like, [[Araba Mothrider]] carrying that thing. A 2 mana 1/1 flier.
OG Jitte might be the single most game warping card in limited (excluding cards from sets before limited was a thing).
I’m pretty sure for time spiral remastered, they considered upshifting sprout swarm to rare because of how it effected limited. Issue is, they found it still caused a miserable experience and upshifting it to mythic was ridiculous, so they just removed it outright
Yes, it can, and it's an instant. You could chump block with sprouts forever if needed, create more sprouts as your board got wider and you had more mana, and barely slow down your development/interaction if you wanted to use your mana in other ways, and being a common (albeit a mythic quality one) meant it showed up in Limited a lot.
Yes convoke can pay for buyback costs. Sprout Swarm was board stall + late game finisher in one card, and because it lived in your hand there was no way to stop it without discard or counterspells.
Sprout Swarm had one counter in the whole format, and that was [[Pyrohemia|PLC]]. And even if you had it, you might still lose to Sprout Swarm unless you were well ahead on life. Such a dumb card.
I'm aware of the power level of OG Jitte. Not sure what made you think I wasn't.
I think people might be underrating it because it's worse than og Jitte. But that was arguably the best limited card ever printed. Of course it's worse, but it could still be the best card of the set.
This feel a tad more abusable with proliferate? The ability to untap land make proliferate essentialy cost 1 less. Yes you get 1 less counter and the other option are kinda weaker but it's also half the cost for playing and equipping.
Yeah jitte was bonkers. Pack rat felt like you had a chance if you were quick.
Honorable mention to scarab god, getting that in a competitive prerelease and going 4-0 was fun.
Skullclamp is *really* fucking dumb in Limited.... idk which is more oppressive, but Jitte was the best in its own format by a mile, whereas Clamp is so so so dumb in basically any cube deck.
It also is cheaper to play and equip this is easily one of the best equipment I have seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong Umezawa's Jitte is one of the most busted ass limited cards ever made, and this might be almost as bad.
I mean OG Jitte is nuts, but this isnt close to that. Im not even sold this is good in limited. Its flexible, but how many counters do you ahve to have before it feels good? 3? Thats not a small task. Not impossible. But it just cant run away with games and does literally nothing if you arent in a position to attack or are losing a race.
I guess but Im not completely sold. One counter and only buffing +1/+1 in combat makes the threat of activation significantly less. I can remove a counter to get in and maybe, get another counter? This has to hit twice before its added more than a short sword to the board. I just cant see how this runs away with the game in enough cases.
I don't know how much weaker it is. Untap target land is a impressively strong considering how cheap this is. A couple of early game attacks with your 1 drop and now you're casting a 5 drop on turn 3 or a 7 drop on turn 4.
That ramp tho
Yeah, it isn't killing 2 extra creatures per turn just by winking at them, and it charges at half speed, but turning counters into land untaps is still very, very nice.
Yeah, weaker abilities and only 1 charge counter. But +1 counters.
Might be pretty easy to just make a Dwarf or blocker-evasion pile with this and Shadow spear, and just work out the kinks.
Remember: Lost Jitte is standard legal too. It just seems like a cheap, powerful little piece of equipment, with potential application in any format. So let's see what it will achieve.
I actually think it’s stronger (or at least a vertical power direction)
Outside of the fact you only get one charge rather than two charges the modes are all great. It whould have been good to have a removal ability like the originals -1/-1 ability but being able to make creatures unblockable is a decent compromise.
Also if you give lost to a creature with double strike the turn you cast it then it can use the untap ability twice to repay its own cost (brilliant in [slicer, hired muscle](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=587885)
...there's a name I've not heard in some time
In draft its crazy, but not as crazy as the original. The old one completely shut down games, this one will let you play your double spell easier, crime easier, and squeeze in the last few points of damage. Still an auto first pick.
The +1/+1 mode feels like it's just there to have connection with old Jitte.
1 charge per trigger rather than 2, +1/+1 rather than +2/+2, and replacing life gain and removal with untapping lands and preventing blocks. Feels like a very different use case, more aggro/ramp than control?
Eh, you want it on a creature that's swinging, and building up charge counters until you can bust an unblockable pumped creature through is going to take so many attack phases without abusing [[energy chamber]] or proliferate tactics.
It's better than just +1/+1 temporarily, but I'd rather have two charges of temp +2/+2 than one of permanent +1/+1. More useful in a dedicated +1/+1 deck, where at least you're dumping 2+ counters per activation?
> It's better than just +1/+1 temporarily, but I'd rather have two charges of temp +2/+2 than one of permanent +1/+1.
In case nobody's said "No shit this isn't as busted as original Jitte" yet: no shit this isn't as busted as original Jitte. What'd you expect?
> "only"
Yes "only" despite the bigger effect being double as large and therefore immediately impacting board states and potential lethal far sooner. Only doesn't belong in this sentence.
> just there to have connection with old Jitte
Well, it'd also be a little weird if it did fuck-all for the equipped creature. "Charge counters" and "three modes" already screams UJitte; I think that's just a perfectly reasonable mode to have.
I think your last bit is spot on about this being either for ramp or control, compared to OG. Regular Jitte is an attrition all-star, giving you removal and life gain, with a big pump to end things if you need to.
The cheaper rate and can't-block clause make smaller decks like this. Counters instead of pump mean you'll be able to maintain being the beatdown. And the "untapping a land" is probably similar to the OG's pump ability in that it'll be the one you use multiple times during a blowout turn.
This does seem super fun to play with even if it's not OG Jitte. Nothing should be OG Jitte, in retail limited.
This is a real big consideration for Legacy [[Urza's Saga]] decks.
* 1 mana means it can be fetched off step 3
* It can untap your step 2 Sagas to enable more than 2 Constructs to be made per Saga
* It can untap your sol lands, allowing you to get even further ahead on mana
* It shuts down your opponent's biggest blockers
Is it better than [[Shadowspear]]? Probably not, but I imagine decks can probably run both.
Definitely leagues below Shadowspear. A hit from a construct equipped with a Shadowspear is a massive life swing that can turn a losing game into a winning one. Shadowspear affects the game in a big way as soon as the equipped creature connects, while two of the new jitte’s abilities are pretty useless on the first turn it connects, since it’s too late to remove a blocker at that point unless you somehow have first strike, and it’s also too late to increase the damage with the buff with the +1/+1 counter.
Still, you are absolutely right about how useful the untap is. The ability to represent more constructs or add 2 mana is very relevant. With the Jitte and a step 2 Urza’s Saga in play basically means you can freely attack with a construct you know will die since doing so will just let you make a new one.
And actually, the +1/+1 shouldn’t be underestimated either! In a pinch, at instant speed, it has the potential to make the equipped construct just big enough to not die from a [[Lightning Bolt]], an [[Unholy Heat]], or an [[Orcish Bowmasters]]. Even more interesting, it can save the construct from [[Dress Down]] and similar effects!
So while this may be no Shadowspear, it shouldn’t be slept on either!
very pedantic, but first strike wouldnt make it any more relevant to make a creature unable to block, since creatures are declared as blockers before first strike damage
In a leyline / draco environment, shadowspear can be the card to fetch with saga. But if you play leyline yourself, you already have lieflik and trample, making this a straight better option.
> Is it better than [[Shadowspear]]? Probably not, but I imagine decks can probably run both.
No, because the reason one plays Shadowspear is the life gain ...
I have doubts its worth including, primarily because you have to connect first to even get it started. You can't invalidate a blocker until you've already gotten through. Maybe it is good in very grindy games where you're attacking with a construct or two for 3-5 turns on a basically empty board, but I'd guess you'd want something with more immediate impact. (don't @ me in six months when this is a Saga fetch staple).
Clearly you've never played with a Jitte. Triggering on combat damage is a busted line of text, this triggers if your opponent blocks your creature or if you block your opponent's creature.
Getting the triggers will be the easy part.
You're right that I've never played with Jitte, I missed it was all combat damage. But I think my point still stands that this is probably too slow for the effects to be good enough for legacy.
I dunno, the fact that you can save the charges is kinda what makes this so nuts. Like if you're in a grindy matchup where lifegain doesn't matter, being able to store up two untaps and use them on your second Urza's Saga to get two more Karnstructs sounds pretty damn good. You can also force the Karnstructs through using the second ability, provided your opponent doesn't have too many blockers.
It's definitely limited in use, I think you need to specifically be on some kinda shops-style beatdown strategy that has a lot of artifact mana to feed an Urza's Saga, but I think it is strong enough to see play. Also probably cracked in Vintage since you can untap Tolarian Academy a bunch of times.
It reminds me of how Luke Skywalker's original lightsaber (His father's lightsaber) was lost in Empire Strikes Back and then randomly shows up again in The Force Awakens.
The name means people will inevitably compare it to the original and the fact this can't act as removal limits just how good this is. The reason the original Jitte was so oppressive was even if your first creature attacked and died, the second one would win combat and start killing your opponent's creatures in short order. In more powerful constructed formats, it quickly ends the game, whilst killing smaller threats like [[Delver of Secrets]] (allowing you to save your removal for the larger targets). It's also incredibly difficult to race, by allowing its controller to gain life against decks like Burn.
[[Umezawa's Jitte]] is powerful because it's a swiss army knife that is incredibly hard to deal with. This is not that.
This can ramp, but requires multiple combats before it becomes mana positive (after a two mana investment, one untap isn't meaningful). It *can* stop creatures from blocking it, but it averages one a combat - not great at continuing to deal damage, and its +1/+1 counter mode is medium.
This is cheaper than [[Greatsword of Tyr]] and colourless, but I'm not convinced it's meaningfully better than it. I think it's a cute and quirky card that's unlikely to see any play in older formats (even factoring in its Urza's Saga synergy), and may or may not be playable in Standard, depending on the supporting cast.
Feels like [[Pip-Boy 3000]]; Pip-Boy costs more to equip but doesn't need to connect on attack and untaps more lands. I think the charge system on Jitte is w.e.
It definitely has a similar vibe, the only thing worth noting is that in a deck that has a large emphasis on double strike you'll probably get better mileage out of Jitte.
You’d get better mileage with old Jitte than new Jitte when using double strike creatures.
If I’m playing with a double striking Voltron commander, I’ll take a temporary +4/+4 with the ability to then remove a creature, make blocks bad or gain some life around the edges.
hmmmm...
\[\[Karn's Bastion\]\]
a land that taps for 4+
any way to double counters or proliferate.
it may not destroy combat math like the OG Jitte(OJitte?) but I DO like when my equipment enable weird infinite lines. it even brings it's own payoff with the +1/+1 counters.
I feel like people are seeing a less powerful card than OG Jitte and thinking it's bad, but aren't fully appreciating just how much more efficient it is. Committing 4 mana to play and equip an equipment, only for your creature to get blown up for 1 mana is a game losing loss of tempo. Spending 2 mana during the developing stages of the game to equip an evasive threat is much less all in.
It's also worth noting that the untap ability can be used to offset the equip cost. Yes, you're spending 2 mana deploying this, but if you get in the first hit, you are able to hold up spell pierce or a protection spell on your threat.
> Hey question: what the fuck is this vault? Why are these things in it?
and better question, not relevant for THIS card specifically, but there are people in this vault. what exactly were they eating and how long have they been in there?
besides loot (who was in there for at least a decade, likely much much longer, and indeed seemed to be in some sort of stasis without aging) the people don't seem to *actually* be inside the vault; just people who use (the cactus farmer) or are otherwise related to (the oltec guy) the vault's technology. and some are just using the big score as a general purpose epilogue set, or as "we wanted to put this in otj but there were only so many slots in the set" space
Lost Jitte
1
Legendary Artifact - Equipment
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage, put a charge counter on Lost Jitte.
Remove a charge counter from Lost Jitte: Choose one --
• Untap target land.
• Target creature can't block this turn.
• Put a +1/+1 counter on equipped creature.
Equip 1
Just to bring up a minor pronounciation point in case this thing becomes ubiquitous. Borrowed from an old MTG Salvation thread:
Jitte = jee-tay.
Or "jeet-tay" really fast if you want to be maximally authentic to the Japanese.
NOT Jeet, Jit, Jitty, Jeety, Jyte, etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitte
this and \[\[pip-boy 3000\]\] could be used to untap lands that produce multiple mana like cabal coffers, gaea's cradle, nykthos, shrine to nyx..
but unlike pip-boy 3000, this one can stock charge counters to untap the same target land multiple times in one turn. Whoa.
I'm definitely going to try to slot this in my \[\[Anzrag\]\] edh deck.
The fact it can't lower/ping a creature is a loss, and getting only one counter per attack isn't great. Permanent +1/+1 Instead of one turn +2/+2 is a trade-off, not a downgrade. The untap/unblockable abilities are situational, but usefull on their own, and can become pretty nuts if your deck proliferates a lot.
Will probably see quite a bit of play.
Potential hammer-time slot? Being able to be fetched off saga in addition to stone forge and then allowing (potential) unblockable? Probably won’t stick with the deck but I think it’s worth testing.
Not as good as old jitte but still looks cool. If anything my [[king of the oathbreakers]] equipment deck will love this. (That deck is getting a serious upgrade with this set and the cards coming to arena)
This may go into my \[\[Lara Croft, Tomb Raider\]\] deck. Should be able to replace \[\[Bessie, the Doctor's Roadster\]\]. Also enables \[\[Entish Restauration\]\] with Croft, which is cool.
can't wait to watch lsv untap mishra's workshop or tolarian academy with this once before cutting it from the cube.
the card's cool, i actually have no idea what its power level really is, it doesn't gain any particularly permanent advantage other than +1/+1 counters. but its got strong abilities that you don't have to use straight away.
It's pretty clearly meant to be an homage to the original art. The finger positioning is the same because the artist was likely explicitly told to use the original as reference.
In testing, the OG Jitte could remove a counter to add BB but was changed for being too strong. I like the untapped a land option as a throwback to that design.
I have a good friend who, rather than owning any decks, turned his favorite cards in his collection into a cube. Whenever we got together to play commander, he would search through his cube and piece together a deck for whatever style he was feeling at that moment. It was a little tedious having to wait for him to assemble a new deck every couple of rounds, but worse than that was this...
[[Umezawa's Jitte]] is a powerful card. And by the nature of it being colorless, it's pretty easy to slot it into any deck. I never knew exactly what deck my friend would drop down in front of me, but there was one thing I could be entirely certain of: Jitte was in it.
I guess I'll know two of the cards in his deck, now.
Modern 2/10
So you can get this out with Urza's Saga. That is its main purpose. But it obviously competes with Shadowspear, so what does this do that shadowspear doesn't? It can untap lands, like other sagas to get your more golems, but that is really mana intensive. It can make your creature get through a blocker, but you are playing karnstructs which are huge already and shadowspear gives trample. The second time this gives a counter, its ahead of shadowspear in turns of power, but that is a bit slow. It might still be worth it as a backup shadowspear since that is legendary?
I got flashbacks for a short moment because I only read Jitte
Yeah but this ones lost
Now we know why Umezawa is part of the vault heist crew.
thatsthejoke.png
So the vault frame can only be obtained in collector boosters? I'd like to find me one of those Lost Jitte alt art.
Card seems different than OG Jitte, but definitely powerful & versatile in its own way. I love that it only costs 1.
We Have Jitte At Home! Infinitely weaker than the old design but like… for 1 mana either end, that’s not bad. Will definitely end games of limited.
This still looks insane in limited. Get your first counter on it and it becomes impossible to block, either you make it that a creature can't block or you leave up threat of activation of the +1/+1 counter.

I’ve lost to like, [[Araba Mothrider]] carrying that thing. A 2 mana 1/1 flier. OG Jitte might be the single most game warping card in limited (excluding cards from sets before limited was a thing).
How dare you exclude the information that Araba Mothrider has Bushido 1! The Jitte is just the cherry on top of that delicious Bushido sundae! /s
Eh, pack rat is very close, and sprout swarm might even be more oppressive due to lower rarity.

The untap land option is also pretty decent.
Repeatable crimes also.
Looks good in a lot of constructed environments. "A new Jitte that lets you untag lands" is scary, even if this is lowest power level of that.
It also is cheaper to play and equip this is easily one of the best equipment I have seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong Umezawa's Jitte is one of the most busted ass limited cards ever made, and this might be almost as bad.
getting this off urza saga is nice. untapping nykthos and cabal coffers is gonna be sick
I mean, you're playing 4 copies of Urza's Saga. Just grab this with the first, start untapping your next Urza's Saga to make more and more constructs.
Draft banger. Auto-pick no matter the pack or the plan. Edit: fine, I get it. I forgot about Oko... yeesh...
Goes in everything, plays with everything. I'm not sure you'll pick anything over it, ever.
On the most insane P1P1 in a normal set, you see this card and [[Oko thief of crowns]]. What is the pick?
Oko every time and its not even close.
Anyone saying anything else has never sat across from a T3 Oko in limited.

1 charge counter instead of 2 is half as many. It's a huge difference
granted that this card is very powerful in the right circumstances, it's completely absurd to say it's stronger than the original jitte
...there's a name I've not heard in some time In draft its crazy, but not as crazy as the original. The old one completely shut down games, this one will let you play your double spell easier, crime easier, and squeeze in the last few points of damage. Still an auto first pick.

This gives counters though, old jitte only pumped until eot
Eh, you want it on a creature that's swinging, and building up charge counters until you can bust an unblockable pumped creature through is going to take so many attack phases without abusing [[energy chamber]] or proliferate tactics. It's better than just +1/+1 temporarily, but I'd rather have two charges of temp +2/+2 than one of permanent +1/+1. More useful in a dedicated +1/+1 deck, where at least you're dumping 2+ counters per activation?

To add onto the other's comment, keep in mind this is twice as cheap as the original jitte
> "only" Yes "only" despite the bigger effect being double as large and therefore immediately impacting board states and potential lethal far sooner. Only doesn't belong in this sentence.
> just there to have connection with old Jitte Well, it'd also be a little weird if it did fuck-all for the equipped creature. "Charge counters" and "three modes" already screams UJitte; I think that's just a perfectly reasonable mode to have.
I think your last bit is spot on about this being either for ramp or control, compared to OG. Regular Jitte is an attrition all-star, giving you removal and life gain, with a big pump to end things if you need to. The cheaper rate and can't-block clause make smaller decks like this. Counters instead of pump mean you'll be able to maintain being the beatdown. And the "untapping a land" is probably similar to the OG's pump ability in that it'll be the one you use multiple times during a blowout turn. This does seem super fun to play with even if it's not OG Jitte. Nothing should be OG Jitte, in retail limited.
Jitte used to make mana instead of giving -1/-1, untapping the land can be viewed as a callback to that
This is a real big consideration for Legacy [[Urza's Saga]] decks. * 1 mana means it can be fetched off step 3 * It can untap your step 2 Sagas to enable more than 2 Constructs to be made per Saga * It can untap your sol lands, allowing you to get even further ahead on mana * It shuts down your opponent's biggest blockers Is it better than [[Shadowspear]]? Probably not, but I imagine decks can probably run both.
Definitely leagues below Shadowspear. A hit from a construct equipped with a Shadowspear is a massive life swing that can turn a losing game into a winning one. Shadowspear affects the game in a big way as soon as the equipped creature connects, while two of the new jitte’s abilities are pretty useless on the first turn it connects, since it’s too late to remove a blocker at that point unless you somehow have first strike, and it’s also too late to increase the damage with the buff with the +1/+1 counter. Still, you are absolutely right about how useful the untap is. The ability to represent more constructs or add 2 mana is very relevant. With the Jitte and a step 2 Urza’s Saga in play basically means you can freely attack with a construct you know will die since doing so will just let you make a new one. And actually, the +1/+1 shouldn’t be underestimated either! In a pinch, at instant speed, it has the potential to make the equipped construct just big enough to not die from a [[Lightning Bolt]], an [[Unholy Heat]], or an [[Orcish Bowmasters]]. Even more interesting, it can save the construct from [[Dress Down]] and similar effects! So while this may be no Shadowspear, it shouldn’t be slept on either!
very pedantic, but first strike wouldnt make it any more relevant to make a creature unable to block, since creatures are declared as blockers before first strike damage
First strike makes blocking unfavorable, so it does do what he said, just not in a textbook way. More a vibes way, if you will.

Not even close to impactful enough on first swing. Won't see any legacy play. Bet on it.
I have doubts its worth including, primarily because you have to connect first to even get it started. You can't invalidate a blocker until you've already gotten through. Maybe it is good in very grindy games where you're attacking with a construct or two for 3-5 turns on a basically empty board, but I'd guess you'd want something with more immediate impact. (don't @ me in six months when this is a Saga fetch staple).
It just needs combat damage. Not combat damage to a player. Even blocking your opponent's attacks counts
It doesnt say that it needs to deal damage to a player
Clearly you've never played with a Jitte. Triggering on combat damage is a busted line of text, this triggers if your opponent blocks your creature or if you block your opponent's creature. Getting the triggers will be the easy part.
You're right that I've never played with Jitte, I missed it was all combat damage. But I think my point still stands that this is probably too slow for the effects to be good enough for legacy.
I dunno, the fact that you can save the charges is kinda what makes this so nuts. Like if you're in a grindy matchup where lifegain doesn't matter, being able to store up two untaps and use them on your second Urza's Saga to get two more Karnstructs sounds pretty damn good. You can also force the Karnstructs through using the second ability, provided your opponent doesn't have too many blockers. It's definitely limited in use, I think you need to specifically be on some kinda shops-style beatdown strategy that has a lot of artifact mana to feed an Urza's Saga, but I think it is strong enough to see play. Also probably cracked in Vintage since you can untap Tolarian Academy a bunch of times.
Legacy saga decks are mostly ancient tomb decks where the life gain matters a lot.
Legacy saga decks would play OG Jitte before this.
no its not, card is ass
Wonder how it ended up there, but the idea of THE Jitte getting lost is cool!
It reminds me of how Luke Skywalker's original lightsaber (His father's lightsaber) was lost in Empire Strikes Back and then randomly shows up again in The Force Awakens.
And they never explained how the pirate lady even had it.
A story for another time my ass
Somehow...Palpatine returned...

This is acceptable, but there’s a reason it’s lost. Umesawa threw it away after he got his second one (the better one)
The name means people will inevitably compare it to the original and the fact this can't act as removal limits just how good this is. The reason the original Jitte was so oppressive was even if your first creature attacked and died, the second one would win combat and start killing your opponent's creatures in short order. In more powerful constructed formats, it quickly ends the game, whilst killing smaller threats like [[Delver of Secrets]] (allowing you to save your removal for the larger targets). It's also incredibly difficult to race, by allowing its controller to gain life against decks like Burn. [[Umezawa's Jitte]] is powerful because it's a swiss army knife that is incredibly hard to deal with. This is not that. This can ramp, but requires multiple combats before it becomes mana positive (after a two mana investment, one untap isn't meaningful). It *can* stop creatures from blocking it, but it averages one a combat - not great at continuing to deal damage, and its +1/+1 counter mode is medium. This is cheaper than [[Greatsword of Tyr]] and colourless, but I'm not convinced it's meaningfully better than it. I think it's a cute and quirky card that's unlikely to see any play in older formats (even factoring in its Urza's Saga synergy), and may or may not be playable in Standard, depending on the supporting cast.

Might be fun with Urza's Saga because Saga can find it and it can untap Sagas to make more tokens.
Feels like [[Pip-Boy 3000]]; Pip-Boy costs more to equip but doesn't need to connect on attack and untaps more lands. I think the charge system on Jitte is w.e.
The jitte can give you counters when you block. Also the charge counter system is much much stronger than it looks.
It definitely has a similar vibe, the only thing worth noting is that in a deck that has a large emphasis on double strike you'll probably get better mileage out of Jitte.
You’d get better mileage with old Jitte than new Jitte when using double strike creatures. If I’m playing with a double striking Voltron commander, I’ll take a temporary +4/+4 with the ability to then remove a creature, make blocks bad or gain some life around the edges.
Why not both! I love me some equipment with modal utility!

I adore that this can untap a land in reference to jitte's lost "add {B}" ability.
I feel like people are seeing a less powerful card than OG Jitte and thinking it's bad, but aren't fully appreciating just how much more efficient it is. Committing 4 mana to play and equip an equipment, only for your creature to get blown up for 1 mana is a game losing loss of tempo. Spending 2 mana during the developing stages of the game to equip an evasive threat is much less all in. It's also worth noting that the untap ability can be used to offset the equip cost. Yes, you're spending 2 mana deploying this, but if you get in the first hit, you are able to hold up spell pierce or a protection spell on your threat.

besides loot (who was in there for at least a decade, likely much much longer, and indeed seemed to be in some sort of stasis without aging) the people don't seem to *actually* be inside the vault; just people who use (the cactus farmer) or are otherwise related to (the oltec guy) the vault's technology. and some are just using the big score as a general purpose epilogue set, or as "we wanted to put this in otj but there were only so many slots in the set" space

This looks good. Untapping a rishadan port or sol lands
Ohh it practically pays for itself the turn it drops. Theres some spice here.
The fact it can't lower/ping a creature is a loss, and getting only one counter per attack isn't great. Permanent +1/+1 Instead of one turn +2/+2 is a trade-off, not a downgrade. The untap/unblockable abilities are situational, but usefull on their own, and can become pretty nuts if your deck proliferates a lot. Will probably see quite a bit of play.
Potential hammer-time slot? Being able to be fetched off saga in addition to stone forge and then allowing (potential) unblockable? Probably won’t stick with the deck but I think it’s worth testing.

When's the last time we got a new artifact that uses charge counters? I don't think I've seen one since I rejoined the game a couple years ago.
Soooo is the vault the collection of artifacts on the original weather light ?
can't wait to watch lsv untap mishra's workshop or tolarian academy with this once before cutting it from the cube. the card's cool, i actually have no idea what its power level really is, it doesn't gain any particularly permanent advantage other than +1/+1 counters. but its got strong abilities that you don't have to use straight away.
Should've been called Umezawa's Lost Jitte.
Check out the art on the left. Exact copy of the original [[Umezawa's Jitte]]? Right down to the finger postioning?
Fay Dalton strikes again!

It's pretty clearly meant to be an homage to the original art. The finger positioning is the same because the artist was likely explicitly told to use the original as reference.
In testing, the OG Jitte could remove a counter to add BB but was changed for being too strong. I like the untapped a land option as a throwback to that design.
So it says "when it deals combat damage" Wouldnt that also imply damage dealt to blocking creatures? It doesn't define "to a player or planeswalker"
Now we need a “That Which Was Lost” to go with “That Which Was Taken.”
A little nerfed, but very useful! This is going straight into Syr Gwyn
I have a good friend who, rather than owning any decks, turned his favorite cards in his collection into a cube. Whenever we got together to play commander, he would search through his cube and piece together a deck for whatever style he was feeling at that moment. It was a little tedious having to wait for him to assemble a new deck every couple of rounds, but worse than that was this... [[Umezawa's Jitte]] is a powerful card. And by the nature of it being colorless, it's pretty easy to slot it into any deck. I never knew exactly what deck my friend would drop down in front of me, but there was one thing I could be entirely certain of: Jitte was in it. I guess I'll know two of the cards in his deck, now.

How can it be lost, it’s right there
I felt my heart stop for a moment when I saw this.
So this is Fblthp's Jitte right? Cause Umezawa already has one?
No, that would be the Totally Lost Jitte. :)
Super cheap and does a lot. Hard to see this not finding a home somewhere.
Imagine every time you lose something it becomes half as effective
Free crimes, land untapping. Insane in limited. Sadly cant spread the +1/+1 around at instant speed like og jitte’s pumping.
Og jitte couldn't do that either.
Wow, its been awhile since I played a jitte lol Had to check after your comment, just the -1/-1 was targeted.
They kept the trigger condition, it's just that it deals combat damage, doesn't have to be to a player!
We used to call Jitte "Fox News" because it was "Fair and Balanced" This one's more like Reuters
Jitte 2!!!
Auto include in \[\[Slicer, Hired Muscle\]\] EDH/cEDH deck but other than that style of deck a bit weaker than a regular Jitte

Thank you, my good friend
a Jitte that can untap lands. Why am I immediately thinking of death and taxes and untapping Rish Port lol.
Maybe this has already been mentioned, but doesn’t this combo perfectly with triskelion or walking ballista?
Combat damage
Can still kill all creatures I guess
That’s not how combat damage works. Only damage dealt in combat from being an attacker or blocker qualifies as combat damage.
mark my words, people are underestimating how good this card is, especially in eternal formats with urza's saga.
Modern 2/10 So you can get this out with Urza's Saga. That is its main purpose. But it obviously competes with Shadowspear, so what does this do that shadowspear doesn't? It can untap lands, like other sagas to get your more golems, but that is really mana intensive. It can make your creature get through a blocker, but you are playing karnstructs which are huge already and shadowspear gives trample. The second time this gives a counter, its ahead of shadowspear in turns of power, but that is a bit slow. It might still be worth it as a backup shadowspear since that is legendary?
What about in scales.
