Aspiring Aeronaut

Description

The Aspiring Aeronaut foil card, numbered 46 in the 2015 Magic Origins set, serves as a foundational creature for blue mana strategies. This Common card is a Human Artificer with a mana cost of three generic and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of four. On the battlefield, it possesses the key keyword ability Flying, which prevents it from being blocked by creatures lacking Flying or Reach. Its most distinct mechanical effect occurs when it enters the battlefield, creating a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token that also has Flying. As a foil finish, this card offers a shimmering aesthetic appeal that collectors often seek to complement their Magic: The Gathering collections. The artwork is credited to Willian Murai, whose illustration brings the character to life within the set's design framework. For players, the token generation provides immediate board presence and synergy with other artifact or flying-focused decks. The combination of evasion through Flying and the ability to generate additional bodies makes it a versatile inclusion in various constructed formats. Whether you are building a specific deck archetype or simply expanding your library, the Aspiring Aeronaut represents a classic piece of modern Magic design from the Origins block era. Its straightforward yet effective rules text highlights the ingenuity of the Artificer subtype, allowing it to construct its own aerial support.
