Marionette Apprentice
Oracle Text
Fabricate 1 (When this creature enters, put a +1/+1 counter on it or create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token.)
Whenever another creature or artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, each opponent loses 1 life.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Marionette Apprentice fits best in a sacrifice-oriented value or aristocrats game plan, where every dying creature and cracked artifact becomes a tiny drain on the opponent’s life total. For just two mana, it offers flexibility through fabricate 1: either grow into a sturdier 2/3 body or leave behind a Servo to fuel artifact synergies, making it a nice tempo piece early and a persistent pressure engine later. In practice, it shines alongside cheap token makers, disposable artifacts, and sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment-style effects, because each death turns into unavoidable life loss. In Modern Horizons 3 draft or sealed, it rewards players who can assemble a board of artifacts and creatures that naturally trade off, then convert those exchanges into incremental damage. The “Marionette” theme feels apt: the apprentice doesn’t dominate combat, but instead pulls strings behind the scenes, punishing opponents every time your board is dismantled and slowly turning attrition into a win condition.
