Mendicant Core, Guidelight
Oracle Text
Mendicant Core's power is equal to the number of artifacts you control.
Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
Max speed — Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, copy it. (The copy becomes a token.)
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Mendicant Core, Guidelight is a disciplined war-robot wrapped in street-myth: its “power” clocks your faction’s industrial might, so every artifact you deploy turns the Core into a bigger threat without needing a single sorcery to power it up. In practice, it supports a value-leaning tempo/control hybrid—because the engines always start, then accelerate with each point of damage you inflict on opponents each turn, capped at speed 4, letting you win races while still stabilizing with artifact density. For deckbuilding, prioritize cheap artifact spells and consistent artifact sources—think artifact lands, mana rocks, and any artifact that replaces itself—so you can reliably cast artifacts and hit Max speed by paying {1} to copy them. That copy token is your “maintenance crew”: it amplifies disruption, ramps faster, and pressures life totals enough to keep speed climbing.
