Guidelight Core
Mendicant Core, Guidelight anchors artifact decks with a simple but potent rule. Its power tracks the number of artifacts you control, so every equipment, contraption, or token you play scales the threat without extra mana. The card reads like a toolbox for tempo plays: it rewards board presence while giving a repeatable engine when you push speed through life loss on your turns.
In practice Mendicant Core, Guidelight excels as a utility finisher and a copy machine for artifact spells. Start your engines and grow the Core while you trigger Max speed to duplicate key artifacts by paying {1}. Players who build around artifact synergies find it predictable and efficient in both midrange and combo lines. Add it to your list when you want reliable scaling and artifact recursion in Aetherdrift decks.
