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.)

Where it came from
The Mendicant Core, Guidelight, was released as part of the Aetherdrift Promos set, a collection of supplemental cards designed to integrate with the expansion's themes of ephemeral navigation and ethereal energy. Distributed through select promotional channels, these cards served as highly stylized alternatives to standard set releases, intended to showcase the aesthetic breadth of the world-building within the game.
The illustration by Zezhou Chen defines the card’s identity, focusing on the intersection of fragile mechanical construction and mystical luminescence. Chen’s design prioritizes a sense of quiet authority, positioning the Mendicant Core as a beacon of light against a desolate, shifting background. Upon its introduction, players and collectors noted the piece for its disciplined color palette and the artist's ability to convey a sense of weightlessness within a static, rectangular frame.
