Missing "any"?

Sure. (Was 'a' contraption)

Letting you assemble any contraption implies you can search your contraption deck for whatever contraption you want. Which seems busted and unfun (since it removes the variance and lets you toolbox while gaining card advantage and removes the randomness that is the mechanics greatest strength).

That... really isn't the joke of this card.

The joke/rant of the card is that the thing assembling the contraption matters not one jot. And that a contraption isn't a collection of odd bits; it's a collection of full fledge machines.

the a/any was just deliberate misunderstanding for comedic value. And now the joke is fully stomped out of existence.

Actually, Steamflogger Boss means it does matter what assembles a Contraption. In a very real way that's also a space that probably should have explored more to drive the point home (possibly by having two tribes that compete about assembling your Contraptions or at least cards that benefit you for assembling the Contraption with a spell).

Yeah; but one solitary card that you probably don't even see isn't really a thing.

While I'm hammerring the joke to a fine paste - cardname should be the artists new job title :)
