Marionette Apprentice arrives in a striking Retro Frame from Modern Horizons 3. For {1}{B}, this uncommon Human Artificer enters the battlefield as a 1/2 and carries Fabricate 1, giving you a choice between placing a +1/+1 counter or creating a single 1/1 Servo artifact creature token. The flexible start fits a range of artifact focused builds and lets you sculpt your board without overcommitting early.
Strings Attached: Marionette Apprentice
In play, the card rewards careful sequencing. The ability reads Fabricate 1 and then a triggered effect: whenever another creature or artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, each opponent loses 1 life. The flavor text captures the tinkerer vibe that threads through MH3 s mechanics, hinting at a craft capable of turning loss into a quiet, creeping advantage. This combination of tempo and inevitability makes Marionette Apprentice a dependable tool for seasoned players navigating tight margins.
