So "Blue" as a creature type? Okay.

my bad typo

Hmm, that'll make putting a blue mermaid token into play interesting :)

This is a very limited usefulness; Thoughtlace was permanent, and there was a similar cycle of "As many targets as you like" as well. They made something only blue; so this is subtly and perhaps interestingly different.

But it's still very limited; and less good than those. So maybe this should cantrip?

it's one of those flavor-based cards that is top-down but only goes down from pure flavor to printing instantly

There was a cycle of cards like this in Shadowmoor that turned creatures to a certain color UEOT and were cantrips. The blue card of that cycle was Cerulean Wisps.

on 29 Jun 2018 by Froggychum:

I see. I'll do something a bit closer to that, but also opposite

Wait - mono-{u} artifact destruction? Also, why even bother making it blue before hand if it's an artifact? This is also too powerful as well even if it was {r}. It would make Smelt look like a weakling and that card isn't too shabby powerwise. Ie. Smash.

on 29 Jun 2018 by Froggychum:

it's a color pie break because flavor says wet machines go boomboom

on 29 Jun 2018 by Tahazzar:

... but most artifacts in MTG aren't powered by electricity but by magic!

That kind of thing would be done more in the way of Malfunction or Encrust anyway. Flavor doesn't trump all.

on 29 Jun 2018 by Froggychum:

I know. I've said before this set is designed with that out of mind. Here flavor basically means screw everything else. which i know is terrible design, which is why it is only in this set, a card dump of epic porportions (also not real cards, more like an unset)

But you are right, since y'all seem really invested in this being mechanically stable, i'll just revert it

I can get behind a set where flavor is everything, but I also noted the issues with the supposed flavor that I had with the card so there's that as well :)

on 29 Jun 2018 by Vitenka:

Yeah; sadly flavour doesn't get to give blue a power it explicitly isn't allowed.

How about "Tap it, return to hand if artifact" instead?

on 29 Jun 2018 by Froggychum:

That could work. Might be kind of gross to be thrown a wet card, but okay.

edit: rather, i say it does not untap next upkeep? much more fizzledout-flavory

also yea tahaz, sorry for missing that point as well, you did give a flavor issue, not just mecha

Might need to be uncommon? Could remove cantrip now?
