Hello!
My name is Henn or iwriterobots on the internet. I make video essays discussing all things robots in Magic: the Gathering from a lore and flavor perspective.

Curious about how MTG classifies its robots? I've got a video about it right here!

This is your monthly reminder: if you like a piece of writing, a piece if art, etc-- TELL THE PERSON WHO MADE IT!!! Leave a comment, tell them with *words* that you like it.
Seriously, it goes *such* a long way.

Yeah fandom bad to put it mildly. New wiki is mostly just the same pages migrated, now hosted by the folks @scryfall.com :)

Holy shit. Queen.

I don't even go here (FF14) but I have nothing normal to say about this robot

Machinist's Arsenal {4}{W}

Artifact — Equipment

Job select (When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token, then attach this to it.)

Equipped creature gets +2/+2 for each artifact you control and is an Artificer in addition to its other types.

Machina — Equip {4} ({4}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Still thinking about Capenna's Humors-Based-HRT

A screenshot of text from the Magic the Gathering story "No Tells" by Isaac Gellman. It reads:
"I don't get it, Yuma," said Elnor. She was cool for a woman with thunder pointed at her; I could smell the power, like the smell of rain coming to the desert. "Weren't we good to you? Didn't we accept you when nobody else did? Didn't we hook you up with the best body-man in the city to change your humors, to make you a fella?"

Probably, he can project a lot of his own sensations, idk why pain wouldn't be included in that 🤔

Has anybody made Quantum Riddler altered art with the "Does he know?" thumbnail

Henn, known robot kisser @iwriterobots.com · 1d

There's also a smaller subset of these cards that have never been on an *in-universe* card before, which is quite funny to me.
Weird bonus fact: both our game's Elevators are in-universe.

Quantum Riddler {3}{U}{U}

Creature — Sphinx

Flying

When this creature enters, draw a card.

As long as you have one or fewer cards in hand, if you would draw one or more cards, you draw that many cards plus one instead.

Warp {1}{U}
4/6

Zookeeper Mechan {1}{R}

Artifact Creature — Robot

{T}: Add {R}.

{6}{R}: Target creature you control gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.

Infinite Guideline’s “Fauna from Sothera” exhibit proved popular. Unfortunately, the biological zookeepers kept getting eaten.
1/3

Petting Zookeeper {2}{G}

Creature — Elf Employee

Reach

When this creature enters, open an Attraction. (Put the top card of your Attraction deck onto the battlefield.)

Calling it a “petting zoo” really saved on the cages.
0/4

Quantum Misalignment {4}{U}

Sorcery

Create a token that’s a copy of target creature you control, except it isn’t legendary.

Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

Edge of Eternities was an interesting set for real words that have never been on Magic cards before due to their very modern nature.
Among them: Vocalist, Torpedo, Nutrient, Relations, Atomic

My personal favorite though: Download
