Curiously, this doesn't really benefit from being attached as much as most of your Widgets do. This one only helps if it's going on an artifact with another way to gain and/or spend charge counters.

Yeah... the point to get people to feel clever when they realized that a charge counter per turn on some artifacts is much, much better than half a 1/1. I also made sure there were two common charge counter artifacts in set Green Mana Battery and Arcane Spyglass. I guess its rare for a reason... it doesn't hurt that the rare Widgets don't have reminder text.

But, I got to admit, the idea behind Widgets is fun, but the design space is rather limited. I pretty much stuck every idea I could come up with that would be an upgrade to most artifacts. After the 8-10 I found, you'd be hard pressed to get many more original ones out there. Modular seems funny, if that was in my block...

Oh, also another cool thing about Widgets is that they never say their name in the card text, because they could be attached to a non-widget. This gives me the freedom to give them god-awful ridiculouly long names, because I know that no matter how much I edit them, they won't end up with those names in their text. This one may have been overkill, but it describes the artifact too well...
