Rationale

2cmc colorless artifact: taps for {C}, or {1},T,Sacrifice: draw a card. The canonical second 2-mana rock after Arcane Signet — tier-1 in multiplayer EDH where decks run multiple 2-mana rocks and the sacrifice draw is free late-game value; drops to tier-2 in Brawl where Arcane Signet wins the slot. Not a Game Changer — sits at bracket [2, 3]; brackets 4-5 prefer faster rocks (Mana Crypt, Arcane Signet).

Learnings (1)

  • Mid-tier in Brawl, despite tier_commander=tier-1. In 1v1 Brawl Arcane Signet is the only auto-include 2-mana rock — Mind Stone's sac-for-card mode rarely fires (games end before the back-half matters), and the {C}-only first mode is weaker than colored alternatives. Use Arcane Signet or land ramp when in green; pass on Mind Stone in 2c+ Brawl decks. The same logic applies to Talismans and signets generally.
