Oracle Text
Imprint — When this artifact enters, you may exile an artifact card from your hand.
{X}, {T}: Create a token that's a copy of the exiled card. X is the mana value of that card.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Prototype Portal is a classic value engine that rewards patient, artifact-heavy deckbuilding: you exile a key artifact from hand and turn every later activation into a steady stream of copies. In play, it best supports control or combo shells that can afford the upfront four-mana investment and then protect the Portal while it snowballs. The biggest strength is flexibility—imprint a cheap utility artifact for repeatable mana fixing or card selection, or a high-impact artifact with a powerful enter-the-battlefield effect if your deck can generate enough mana to activate it repeatedly. It pairs especially well with untap effects, cost reduction, and mana rocks, since lowering the {X} burden lets you scale faster. In Commander, imprinting a one-of silver bullet or a high-value artifact creature can dominate long games. Just remember it is slow and vulnerable; if your deck wants immediate pressure, this is less aggro piece and more long-game artifact engine.
