Energy counters arrived years earlier under a very different color identity, banked as neutral fuel toward a separate payoff. Here they get repurposed as a white artifact reward, and the design inverts how the resource usually behaves: the payoff is folded into the act of collection rather than bolted on afterward. Metalcraft gates the tap, so you only start generating energy once three artifacts are on the table; the triggered ability then keys off gaining energy on your own turn, meaning the same tap that banks a counter also swells the whole team for the turn. What you eventually spend the energy on is beside the point. The card profits from the gain itself, converting each instance into immediate combat math while other energy generators sit and hoard toward something bigger. The 1/3 body reads accordingly. It is built to sit back, survive early swings, and keep tapping turn after turn, not to attack into anything; the anthem is meant to profit whichever creatures are already committed to the red zone. What it asks for is enough artifact density to keep metalcraft online and an energy shell whose other engines make the counters worth spending. Give it both, and a resource other decks treat as a slow bank becomes a repeated, self-triggering pump that happens as a byproduct of doing something else.
