Thopter Assembly

Description

Thopter Assembly is card number 226 in the Commander 2018 set of Magic: The Gathering. This Rare card functions as an Artifact Creature with the Thopter subtype. It requires six mana to cast and enters the battlefield as a 5/5 creature with the flying ability. The card features artwork by Volkan Baǵa and is identified by the set code C18. The gameplay mechanics of Thopter Assembly revolve around token generation during the upkeep phase. If this is the only Thopter you control at the start of your upkeep, it returns to its owner's hand. In exchange, the controller creates five 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature tokens, each possessing flying. This interaction allows for rapid board presence expansion while preserving the original card for reuse in subsequent turns. As a six-mana creature, it serves as a significant threat that can dominate the board state through its token-creation ability. The card's design and rules text are consistent with the artifact-heavy themes often explored in this Commander release. The card features a mana value of 6 and functions as an Artifact Creature — Thopter. The combination of a high-power creature and multiple flying tokens makes it a notable inclusion for those exploring the Commander format's strategic depth. This card is numbered 226 in the Commander 2018 set.
