Character Background
Shaun, Father of Synths plays like a tempo/value engine: at five mana he turns any attacking legendary into an immediate extra attacker by making a tapped, attacking copy that’s also an artifact Synth, pressuring opponents while effectively doubling attack-based value. He best supports aggressive or midrange tempo plans that want to convert single attackers into multiple attack triggers and evasive damage; pair him with evasive or “whenever this attacks” legendaries so the synthesized duplicates add both bodies and triggers. Build with artifact- and token-friendly elements—Steel Overseer, Panharmonicon-style pieces to amplify enters/attacks, or anthem effects like Cathars’ Crusade—to turn each synth into exponential board presence. Be mindful that those tokens are tethered to Shaun and are exiled when he leaves, so prioritize protection over blink (use countermagic or hexproof-granting effects), include multiple legendary attackers to target, and consider artifact tutors or anthems to maximize the recurring value his copies create.
