Character Background
Auton Soldier is a versatile blue artifact-clone that best supports control/value strategies and really comes alive in multiplayer formats: for a hefty 4UU it can enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, but isn’t legendary, becomes an artifact as well, and grants myriad—so it both dodges the legend rule and multiplies pressure against multiple opponents. Use it to steal or duplicate powerful ETB threats (Consecrated Sphinx, Torrential Gearhulk) and then maximize those triggers with Panharmonicon or repeated flicker (Conjurer’s Closet, Cloudshift); because it’s an artifact you also get artifact synergies and recursion (Emry-style recursion or artifact tutors). Deckbuilding tip: pack a small toolbox of high-impact creatures to copy, a couple of protection or blink outlets, and a way to exploit its artifact status (Steel Overseer, artifact tutors, or graveyard recursion). Treat Auton Soldier as a flexible value engine rather than pure aggression—its real strength is turning single threats into repeatable, multiplayer-busting advantage.
