Ingenious Blueprint
Leonardo da Vinci brings calculated utility to any blue deck that values tempo and artifact synergy. The near mint Legendary Creature blends a steady 3 over 3 body with two distinct activated abilities that reward planning and hand management. With {3}{U}{U} you can set your Thopters to a dynamic X over X where X equals your hand size, turning a modest swarm into a scalable threat. The card reads like a puzzle piece for artifact strategies and control shells alike.
The second ability, {2}{U} plus tapping, trades a draw for a discard with upside that fits draft and constructed play patterns. If you discard an artifact you exile it to spawn a token copy that becomes a 0 over 2 Thopter artifact creature with flying in addition to its other types. That interaction preserves value while generating flying blockers or evasive attackers. For players who pilot equipment or Thopter synergies the card is a compact engine that converts cards in hand and grave into battlefield presence. Add this near mint Leonardo da Vinci to your deck or collection and lean on the math when you need reliable incremental advantage.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – {3}{U}{U}: Until end of turn, Thopters you control have base power and toughness X/X, where X is the number of cards in your hand. 2{U}, {T}: Draw a card, then discard a card. If the discarded card was an artifact card, exile it from your graveyard. If you do, create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 0/2 Thopter artifact creature with flying in addition to its other types.
