Am I the only one who just wasn't sure about this guy?
I know there's a land to half-support him,
But I feel like certain cards just really didn't need to be put in,
And even doubles of other cards would have been acceptable, if not new ones altogether.

I agree with you, in the context of this deck, there were better choices to be made.

The tragedy of this dude is the flavor of him. The lands, the factory so similar to urza's, you just WANT to make him work. But he doesn't actually do anything. Such a pity.

Meh, I suppose you could toss him into a Prototype Portal and just have them keep buffing each other, but it would just amount to a bad exalted ripoff unless you had ways to untap all artifacts you control.

It's perfect for the tezzeret deck. It combos with thirst for knowledge.

Love the flavour text and the art. Worthless in actual gameplay.

It would have been great if oh I don't know; they had more than ONE assembly worker creature.

Might've been viable if it said +2/+2

For the confused new players, read Mishra's Factory

They should have made it, "T: Put a +1/+1 counter on target Assembly-Worker." Then we could give the card some respect.

He blocks as a 3/3. Seems to work fine against Elspeth's wimpy forces, right?

In my opinion, this should have been:

Assembly-Whatever
2
Artifact
Tap: Add 1 to your mana pool.
1: ~ becomes a 2/2 Assembly-Worker artifact creature until end of turn.
Tap: Target Assembly-Worker creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

Like a Mishra's Factory, but in artifact form... They say that a land can be, generally speking, an artifact that costs 2, so I think that this should be appropriate. Also, in this way, there is another creature type that isn't in any creature card, like Saproling (exept for changelings and Mistform Ultimus).

However, nice card. Nothing special, but the flavour text is amazing!

3.5/5

At least he's not a Contraption.
