Morphling + Ætherling + Shorecrasher Elemental + Robot. Rare mechs are based on iconic cards of the color.

It used to exile itself like Aetherling. but that doesn't work with champion. So i fixed it

Welcome to Multiverse!

Two formatting tips: In rules text on cards, you can make mana symbols by enclosing letters in braces {}: so if you write {U}{U} rather than UU, it'll show up as {u}{u}. And if you mention card names in comments, you can enclose them in triple square brackets [[[]]] to make hyperlinks with mouseover preview: [[[Shorecrasher Elemental]]] = Shorecrasher Elemental.

I was initially surprised to see Champion returning; I'm well familiar with Changeling Berserker and friends, but hadn't thought of it working this way. But the flavour does pretty nearly work, and the mechanics work excellently.

It's a bit of a pity you can't cast your mech earlier than the pilot and have the pilot jump into a pre-existing mech. But any implementation of this flavour is going to have some problems or other; that may work out being a worthwhile compromise for simplicity and gameplay.

My Code Geass set features mechs. I had them as a variation of Equipment, and after a couple of playtests removed the differences so that they're just Equipment now, although most of them have the "Eject" ability as seen on Gloucester Royal RPI-00/SC. I'm always interested to see different people's takes on reflecting this flavour in Magic, because it's hard to find a simple enough way that feels sensible.
