Stridehangar Automaton

A token-multiplier with the multiplication narrowed to a single output: whenever any batch of artifact tokens would be created under your control, a replacement effect swaps in the original batch plus one 1/1 flying Thopter. Not a copy of what you made, not a mirror of the whole batch, just one extra flier riveted onto every artifact-token creation event. That is what separates it from a symmetric replacement like Doubling Season; it does not care how many artifacts you would have made or what kind, only that the creation happened, so a single Servo, a single Treasure, or a burst that makes five tokens at once each net you the same one bonus Thopter. Because the effect fires per creation event rather than per token, the way to squeeze it is to chain many small artifact-token creations rather than resolve one large batch, turning "make an artifact token" from an occasional line into a recurring one. The 1/4 body is deliberately defensive, built to sit on the board and skim fliers off a deck already producing artifact tokens for other reasons. The static +1/+1 anthem points the reward at the tokens it manufactures: each Thopter reads as a 2/2 flier while this stays in play, so the payoff is width, a growing squadron of evasive bodies, rather than any single token outgrowing its printed size. A support piece for an artifact-token engine, not the engine itself.
