URGLegendary Creature — Human Artificer · from $0.26
Whenever you cast an Artificer or artifact spell, you get {E} (an energy counter).
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may pay {E}{E}{E}. When you do, create a token that's a copy of target permanent you control, except it's a 5/5 artifact creature in addition to its other types and has haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.
