The Seriema

Legendary Artifact — Spacecraft1 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

The engine wants a board full of singleton legends, but the fuel line asks for nothing so specific: Station taps any creature you control, so the charge counters can come off a token or a spare utility body just as easily as off a legend. What ties the design to legendaries is the static clause, which is live the instant the ship resolves. Every other tapped legendary creature you control has indestructible from turn one, no threshold required, and that reverses the usual cost of an activation. Tapping a creature to power a Spacecraft normally strands it face-up and vulnerable through the crack-back; here, if that creature is a legend, the act of exhausting it is exactly what armors it. The entry search smooths the assembly problem before it starts by handing you a legendary creature the moment the artifact lands, so you are never short a body to point the protection at. Station being sorcery-speed is the discipline that keeps the shield from doubling as an instant-speed answer to targeted removal: you commit the taps on your own turn, not in response to a spell on the stack. The 7+ line is a genuinely separate reward, granting Flying and the creature type so the artifact can finally attack as a 5/5, but the protection lattice never waited on it. What reads as a legends-matter value piece is really a formation-builder: tap your legends down and they become a board removal cannot pick apart, one indestructible creature at a time.
