As ive already asked about posting sets of cards and apparently there isnt an adequete system for that, this is the first in a series of threads with specific cards that need some work.

CARDNAME
1
Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may add up to 2 to your mana pool. You can't spend this mana to play spells.
2: Search your library for a copy of ~this~, reveal that card and put it card into your hand.  Then shuffle your library.


You will notice this is an improved thran turbine, one of my favorite cards but it was not very good.  Originaly I had reduced the casting cost to 0 but I tacked the second ability on so it would be more than a casting cost adjustment. With the new ability it seems obcene to cost this at 0 and unfortunately is also allows you to shuffle frequently whereas my intention was to simply have an artifact that "grows".  I could limit it with counters but that would clutter the card badly.  Any input is appreciated.

You definitely need to reveal the copy when you search for it.

You should call this "Perpetual Machine" if it isn't already taken. I really like the idea BTW, it could be pretty useful. As for flavour text, how about "It just keeps getting faster and faster..." ala The Simpsons. Smile
