Marionette Apprentice: Fabricate Powerhouse
Marionette Apprentice is a compact engine from Modern Horizons 3. For {1}{B}, this uncommon Human Artificer slips into a plan built around artifacts and +1/+1 counters. Fabricate 1 lets you choose to grow the creature or spawn a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token, offering immediate value whether you want a bigger body or a stronger board presence. The light Play Foil finish adds a subtle sheen that enhances the art without compromising readability.
Late game, Marionette Apprentice doubles as a disruption tool by punishing opponents whenever another creature or artifact you control is put into a graveyard. Each such event drains their life total by 1, aligning with a tempo driven strategy that trades bodies for damage and servo support. The card embodies a tinkerer mindset, twisting mechanisms just enough to keep the battlefield in your favor as pieces click into place.
