Where it came from
Bastion Inventor was originally released in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion Aether Revolt. Designed as a common creature, it features the 'Improvise' mechanic, which allows players to tap artifacts to help pay for its mana cost. The card was crafted to support artifact-centric strategies within the Kaladesh block, an inventive, steampunk-inspired setting known for its focus on energy and craftsmanship.
The art was illustrated by Clint Cearley, who depicted the character as a masterful Kaladeshi artisan amidst a workshop of intricate devices. As part of 'The List'—a rotating selection of cards from Magic's history reprinted in Set Boosters—this version features the distinctive planeswalker symbol in the bottom-left corner, signifying its inclusion in this curated archive of notable past designs.
