Huh, we just don't have one of these on file do we? This seems as good an iteration as any to add to the file
Does this actually want the untap clause? When would that be relevant?
Drop a point of toughness make it cost ww. Give it lifelink. White doesn't get 2 mana 3/3's willy nilly
Human Cleric creature token
Capitalized Angel. Changed to Angels you control (feel free to change back, but buffing from your opponents' creatures seems wrong)
This needs to drop a point of toughness or power, preference to toughness. This is too strong as is.
It only seems good if we want Science to make Thopters. That point itself seems a bit contentious.
I was honestly a fan of the card before the rootwalla.
Monty Python mispronunciation amusing (Kinght), but wrong
This might just want to be straight shifted into a common slot in white. Deferring to Reuben. Possibly from soldier to cleric if necessary.
Until eot added
reformatting
Tinker's formatting isn't an issue to be concentrating on before the first playtest. Concentrate on the gameplay and we can worry about the best way to word it later.
that's a really good solution
I recommend dropping exploit's template. Then you won't have this issue. "Tinker -- When ~ ETBs, you may sacrifice an artifact. If you do, X." It's shorter, clearer, and doesn't have some of the weird fringe cases exploit has.
that's certainly the grammatically correct form, but it reads pretty strangely when put aside exploit creatures
i think this might just not be the right word for the mechanic
how about deconstruct? "when X deconstructs an artifact, Y" seems pretty readable to me. also has the advantage of being immediately mentally associated with sacrificing an artifact, whereas tinker conjures up imagery of a wizard with a screwdriver poking around inside a robot or something. yes yes i know tinker sacrifices an artifact but it does it to get another artifact; IMO the flavor there is an artifact being reshaped into another artifact. generalising tinker to be a sac trigger for other abilities is less believable because sometimes the ability is just "deal 2 damage". is the artifact being reshaped into a spell or something?
"Tinkers with an artifact"?
Based on where it targets, I read this as the fight occurs after the opponent's creature dies.
