Legendary Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Artificer

Brudiclad wants a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them. It also suits a deck that copies the best creature on the table.

Creature tokens you control have haste.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, create a 2/1 blue Phyrexian Myr artifact creature token. Then you may choose a token you control. If you do, each other token you control becomes a copy of that token.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

All other tokens you control become a copy of the chosen token, even those that aren't of the same type. For example, if you control a Treasure artifact token and choose the Myr token Brudiclad just created, your Treasure will become a copy of the Myr.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

Brudiclad copies only the values defined as the original token was created (unless that token is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that token is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or any Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

If the chosen token is copying something else (for example, if the chosen token was previously affected by Brudiclad's triggered ability), then your tokens become copies of whatever the chosen token copied.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

The effect of Brudiclad's triggered ability lasts indefinitely. It continues to apply after Brudiclad leaves the game.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

The last effect of Brudiclad's triggered ability affects all tokens you control other than the chosen token, including the token that was just created if that isn't the chosen token.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Apr 2023

Once a creature token that came under your control this turn has legally attacked, causing it to lose haste by removing Brudiclad from the battlefield won't cause that token to stop attacking.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryURPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue, R for red.
