Blueprint of Invention
Leonardo da Vinci arrives as a near mint foil etched legend that rewards careful setup and hand sizing. Castable for {2}{U}, Leonardo da Vinci is a 3/3 Legendary Creature Human Artificer that turns artifacts and hand depth into board advantage. His first ability invests in Thopter armies by setting their base power and toughness to the number of cards in your hand, so a full grip becomes a real threat on the battlefield. The second ability converts card selection into tangible value by drawing then discarding and by reanimating artifact cards as 0 2 flying Thopter copies when you exile them from your graveyard.
This printing suits artifact centric blue decks that want repeatable token generation and scalable combat presence. Use hand manipulation and discard outlets to trigger the second ability reliably. In control shells keep your hand stocked to pump your Thopters with the first ability. The foil etched finish highlights the workshop scene and Leonardo at his drafting table which makes this mythic a distinct piece for collectors and competitive brewers alike. Add this card to any strategy that leans on artifacts, servo synergy or Thopter tokens and start converting small plays into asymmetric advantage.
