I think we've been trying to avoid gold cards in this set wherever possible. But Blasto is both very green and very blue. (He's also incredibly Simic, so much so that I had to try quite hard to resist giving him the Simic watermark.) I came up with this workaround - basically making him a gold card in all but mana cost. But if we do have any gold cards, he'd be a really natural candidate.

I was thinking we could also have an artifact card for one of his vats. Trying to muse what it could do, I realised that it could pretty much be a reprint of Mimic Vat...

His second ability is similar to Feldon of the Third Path. I put the cost pretty high because, being a green-blue token copy effect, the copies don't go away at end of turn; this matches the price difference between Spitting Image and Heat Shimmer.
