Product Overview

Description

The Wrench-Rigger is a distinct entry in the 2017 Unstable expansion, representing the chaotic and humorous spirit that defined the set. As card number 101 in the UST series, this foil common creature card introduces players to the unique Contraption mechanic, allowing them to assemble mechanical pieces directly onto the battlefield. This Goblin Rigger is a one-mana creature with a power and toughness of 1/1, making it an accessible and early-game option for decks focused on the Unstable theme. Its ability triggers upon entering the battlefield, instructing the player to put the top card of their Contraption deck face up onto one of their sprockets. This interaction encourages creative gameplay and adds a layer of unpredictability that collectors and players alike appreciate. The flavor text, "Goblin innovator, goblin corpse. Tomayto, tomahto," further emphasizes the lighthearted nature of the card, reflecting the set’s penchant for subverting traditional fantasy tropes. For collectors, the foil treatment of this card adds a layer of visual appeal, with the shimmering finish enhancing the artwork and making it a standout piece in any Unstable collection. The card’s rarity as a common means it is widely available, yet the foil variant offers a more premium feel for those looking to build a display-worthy set. Whether you are a seasoned Magic: The Gathering veteran or a newcomer drawn to the Unstable series, the Wrench-Rigger serves as a fun and interactive addition to your collection. Its unique mechanics and artistic design make it a memorable piece of the 2017 expansion, perfect for those who enjoy the whimsical side of the game. The Wrench-Rigger is a testament to the creativity of the Magic: The Gathering design team, offering a break from the norm with its quirky mechanics and engaging artwork. It is a card that invites players to think outside the box, or rather, to build something new from the pieces at hand. For collectors, it represents a fun and accessible entry point into the Unstable set, offering both gameplay utility and aesthetic pleasure.
