What it does

Mendicant Core's power is equal to the number of artifacts you control.

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.)

Provenance

Where it came from

The Mendicant Core, Guidelight originated as a promotional inclusion within the Aetherdrift expansion cycle, released to support specialized organized play initiatives. Designed to offer a visually distinct alternative to standard game pieces, this card represents the intersection of atmospheric world-building and functional tactical utility common to the series.

The illustrative direction for the Guidelight variation emphasized ethereal, luminant textures intended to evoke the thematic instability of the Aetherdrift setting. While the core mechanics mirrored the base edition, the stylistic departure reflected a concerted effort by the art department to provide collectors with rare, aesthetic variants that captured the haunting, drift-worn identity of the narrative's central artifacts.
