Pit Automaton
Oracle Text
Defender
{T}: Add {C}{C}. Spend this mana only to activate abilities.
{2}, {T}: When you next activate an exhaust ability that isn't a mana ability this turn, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Pit Automaton is a tidy little engine piece for decks that want to grind value while holding the line, especially control and combo shells built around activated abilities. A 2-mana 0/4 defender is already respectable at stalling early attackers, and the {T}: Add {C}{C} ability helps it pay for its own second mode or other ability-heavy permanents. The real prize is the {2}, {T} copy effect, which rewards you for sequencing carefully around exhaust abilities; if your deck has efficient exhaust creatures or artifacts with powerful once-per-turn activations, Pit Automaton can effectively double a key trigger and swing a game quickly. Because the copy only applies to nonmana exhaust abilities, it pairs best with cards that have impactful tap abilities or targeted effects rather than generic ramp. In practice, play it like a setup card: defend early, then turn spare mana into repeated bursts of value once your board is established.
