upcosted activation

Having a mechanism be an artifact creature feels rather odd to me...

Yeah, it is a bit. But as just a pure artifact I think it's too limited use. At least if it's a cretaure you can sometimes hit someone with it. Dunno, conflicted.

On a rethink, I also had the reasoning that I wanted mechanisms to be fragile. That's when I'd planned to have more of them, of course.

Ugh. (s) is the same as {s}.

That's ( s ) and { s }

Er. Yes, it is. Why is that an issue?

Ohh, wait, you used to say "Choose new target(s)"? Yeah, that's not how you template it :P See Goblin Flectomancer or Sideswipe for the terminology to use.

On-topic, since this is so narrow (only any good if the opponent is mucking with your plans), could the cost of the activation come down?

Yeah, probably. Reduced from 1u to u.
