Guidelight Gearbound
Mendicant Core, Guidelight is a compact legend for artifact decks that rewards tight engineering and board presence. Mendicant Core's power scales with the number of artifacts you control, turning deployable utility and cheap equipment into a serious clock. The borderless art showcases the robot's guiderings and luminous apertures, a practical visual cue for players who build around artifacts and synergy.
The card also offers a triggered copy effect when you cast an artifact spell, allowing you to pay {1} to copy that spell and double a key activation or combo piece. Mendicant Core, Guidelight reads like a toolkit for midrange and combo pilots who want predictable scaling and repeatable value; play it early to grow into a resilient threat or slot it into artifact shells to amplify every foundry and fabricator you cast. Add it to a list when you need a reliable artifact leader that interacts cleanly with artifacts and spell based engines.
