Starting Column
Oracle Text
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.)
{T}: Add one mana of any color.
Max speed — {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw two cards, then discard a card.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Starting Column is a quietly powerful utility artifact that best supports value and midrange strategies (and can slot into multicolor combo shells) by offering reliable color fixing and a late-game card-selection payoff once its “speed” engine reaches max. At three mana it’s not an explosive ramp piece, but its {T}: add one mana of any color smooths awkward color requirements and lets you hit early curve plays; the Start your engines! mechanic rewards consistently dealing opponent life loss on your turns, so aggressive damage sources (cheap burn like Shock/Lava Spike, consistent evasive attackers, or repeat ping effects) are a clear synergy to accelerate speed toward the 4 cap. Once at max speed the sacrifice activation—draw two, discard one—turns the artifact into recurring selection and graveyard fuel, making it a natural fit in reanimation or delve builds where the discard matters. Deckbuilding tip: include a few low-cost single-target damage spells and at least one recursion outlet to maximize both the engine and the sacrifice value.
