Shambling Suit

Artifact Creature — Construct3 generic mana

A three-mana body with a fixed toughness of 3 and a power that reads whatever board you have built. The construct answers a specific artifact-and-enchantment-deck problem: how do you turn a pile of noncreature permanents into a clock without asking any single one of them to attack? The answer here is to make the body a live tally, counting artifacts and enchantments together, which quietly rewards the permanent-heavy shells where equipment, treasures, food tokens, and enchantment glue all sit on the battlefield doing their jobs. It counts itself (it is an artifact), so its power never drops below 1 while it stays in play, and it scales upward only as fast as your board commits: a bare table gives you a 1/3, a developed one gives you a threat that grew for free while you spent mana elsewhere. The toughness of 3 is the anchor. Strip the rest of your board and the power shrinks, but the 3 holds, which keeps the card serviceable as a blocker even when the engine around it has been dismantled. It belongs to the same design family as older count-your-permanents creatures, translated into a two-type tally so it can live in an affinity-style artifact build or an enchantment-leaning one without picking a side.
