Description
Designed by Franz Vohwinkel, this Rare Artifact Contraption brings a strategic twist to the table that appeals to both casual players and serious collectors of the Un-sets. As an Artifact with the Contraption subtype, Guest List operates differently than standard creatures or sorceries. Its primary mechanic revolves around the concept of cranking. When a player cranks this contraption, it triggers a powerful effect that targets a creature and reduces its power and toughness. The magnitude of this reduction is directly tied to the number of creature cards currently in that creature's controller's graveyard. This creates a dynamic interaction where the card's value increases as the game progresses and more creatures are removed from play. For collectors, the Unstable set holds a special place in Magic history for its experimental rules and lighthearted tone. Guest List represents the innovative spirit of this era, offering a unique piece of gameplay history. Whether you are building a deck centered around contraption mechanics or simply appreciate the artistic and mechanical diversity of the Un-sets, this card provides a compelling addition to your portfolio. Its status as a Rare card ensures it is a sought-after component for those looking to own a complete set of the 2017 expansion.
