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 expansion, a set centered on the lore of nomadic sky-farers navigating unstable leyline storms. Designed to serve as a high-utility rare creature, it was crafted to provide players with a strategic anchor in aggressive, fast-paced matches, reflecting the thematic search for stability within the chaotic Aetherdrift setting.
Artist Zezhou Chen illustrated the card, utilizing a palette of soft, luminescent blues and stark geometric forms to evoke the image of a construct acting as a beacon. The design was received by the community as a technically proficient piece of world-building, appreciated for how its visual aesthetic successfully communicated the card's function as a stabilizing force on the battlefield.
