Creature — Human ArtificerRed manaWhite mana

A token-fueled artillery engine hiding inside a 1/1 body. The trick is that both abilities point at the same resource: the first activation manufactures defenders for one mana apiece, and the second converts each of those walls into a point of damage to any target. Sequenced over enough turns, this Human Artificer becomes a slow Triskelion you assemble one piece at a time, paying mana up front to bank wall after wall, then unloading them as pings whenever you have a board to spare. The tap symbol on both halves is what governs it: you can build or you can shoot in a given turn, not both, so the engine wants either a second copy or another way to untap before it threatens to run away. The defender keyword on the Constructs is doing double duty, giving you a chump-blocking front line that doubles as ammunition, which is a tidier piece of design than it looks: the same token that survives a turn on defense is the same token you sacrifice for reach. As a Boros build-around it sits in an unusual spot, since the color pair's identity is usually about speed and tempo, and this is patient, incremental machinery that rewards a board that already has time. It is the rare red-white card that wins by accumulating, not by racing.
