This card could support UR if it ate cards like Deranged Assistant in addition to its U mana cost. Maybe 2 cards?

Actually, milling yourself might not be a bad thing for either, since it wants lands in the graveyard. I'd be fine with it milling one card but 2 might be pushing it.

P.S. this is Raptor. (I can't remember my password for this site XD)

Raptor1210? Didn't I just send you an email offering to reset your password? :o)

I don't think so but then again look at my user name on this one. I think I've made a couple of accounts with different email addresses because I've got so many passwords and keep forgetting which one are used where.

Anyway, I've got this one saved to my desktop's main browser so its only a problem when im not at my desktop.

Is there a reason this couldn't just be Deranged Assistant? Or do people feel that's too far disconnected from steampunk flavor?

I think there was a flavor reason.

Depends on how you flavor it. Deranged Assistant might work flavor-wise if we imply a Lovecraftian horror of some kind but I seem to recall us not wanting that (too close to the eldrazi or something, I can't recall exactly) and that being the reason we had gone with the current design.

We could flavor it as a simply loony assistant. "He does good work, but I wish he would stop courting the steamflux converter during his lunch hour."

That's the kind of thing I was thinking.
