What it does

Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.)
Max speed — Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may pay 1 generic mana. If you do, copy it. (The copy becomes a token.)

Where it came from
The Mendicant Core, Guidelight, was released as part of the Aetherdrift Promos set, a collection of limited-edition cards distributed primarily through organized play events and exclusive promotional channels. These cards were introduced to bridge the aesthetic gap between the core set’s utilitarian design and the more intricate, ethereal themes prevalent in the Aetherdrift expansion, serving as both gameplay assets and visual centerpieces for hobbyists.
The card features the distinct work of artist Zezhou Chen, who sought to capture the titular core as a luminous, geometric entity suspended in a state of suspended animation. Chen utilized a palette of cool, bioluminescent tones to contrast against the mechanical texture of the object. Upon its release, the card was well-received within the collector community for its technical rendering of light refraction and its unique place in the promotional hierarchy of the set.
