Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot // Legendary Artifact

Blaster wants a deck that turns its Vehicles into creatures and attacks with them. It also suits a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn.

  • Mana cost3 genericredgreen
  • Red, Green ()
  • Power / toughness3 / 3
  • RarityMythic

More Than Meets the Eye 1 genericredgreen (You may cast this card converted for 1 genericredgreen.)

Other nontoken artifact creatures and Vehicles you control have modular 1. (They enter with an additional +1/+1 counter on them. When they die, you may put their +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)

Whenever you put one or more +1/+1 counters on Blaster, convert it.

Modular 3

X, tap: Move X +1/+1 counters from Blaster onto another target artifact. That artifact gains haste until end of turn. If Blaster has no +1/+1 counters on it, convert it. Activate only as a sorcery.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

"More Than Meets the Eye [cost]" means "You may cast this card converted by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost." It functions in any zone from which the spell can be cast.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

A spell cast this way enters the battlefield with its back face up.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

Any triggered ability of another card that triggers whenever a permanent transforms will also trigger whenever a permanent converts.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

Converting a permanent doesn't affect any Auras or Equipment that are attached to it. Similarly, any counters on the permanent will remain on that permanent after it converts. Any continuous effects from a resolved spell or ability will continue to affect it. Any spells or abilities on the stack that target a permanent continue to do so after that permanent converts.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

Converting into Blaster, Morale Booster from Blaster, Combat DJ does not cause it to get counters from its modular ability.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

If a creature with one or more +1/+1 counters on it gets enough -1/-1 counters put on it to cause it to die, it leaves the battlefield with all those counters on it. The modular ability will put a number of +1/+1 counters on the target artifact creature equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on this creature before it left the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

If Blaster, Combat DJ dies at the same time as one or more artifact creatures or Vehicles, the modular abilities it was granting to each of them will trigger.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

If Blaster, Combat DJ somehow enters the battlefield at the same time as one or more other artifact creatures or Vehicles, none of those creatures or Vehicles will have modular 1 due to Blaster's ability until after they have entered, so they will not enter with the additional +1/+1 counter.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

If Blaster, Morale Booster has fewer than X +1/+1 counters on it as its activated ability resolves, all of its +1/+1 counters are moved.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

If you copy a permanent spell cast this way, the copy has the characteristics of the card's back face, even though it isn't itself a double-faced card.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

Similarly, an ability of another card that instructs you to "transform" one of these cards will cause you to convert it, even if that ability doesn't use the word "convert."

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

The convert keyword action functions the same way as the transform keyword action found on some other cards; to convert a permanent on the battlefield, turn it over so that its other face is up.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

The cost is an alternative cost, so it can't be combined with any other alternative costs. It can be combined with any applicable additional costs.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

The mana value of a converted permanent on the battlefield is equal to the mana value of the card's front face, no matter which face is up.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a More Than Meets the Eye cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of a spell cast using More Than Meets the Eye is determined by the mana cost on the front face of the card, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Oct 2022

When you cast a spell using its More Than Meets the Eye ability, the card is put onto the stack with its back face up. The resulting spell has all characteristics of that face.
