Clockwork Amulet

4, T: Put an artifact card from your hand into play.

One of my first card proposals here was a card called Lay Claim, which was functionally indentical to Dominate except it took artifacts. It was just an effect I would have liked to have seen printed in Mirrodin for Type 4 purposes. Well, here's another one. Quicksliver Amulet is pretty nifty in Type 4, and it'd be cool if you could sneak your artifacts into play too.

Yeah, this looks balanced enough - and it's a nice complementary card, as you say. I like it.

Does the world need another Copper Gnomes? Anything so heavy that you need to cheat it into play should win the game on its own, so I can't say I really see what the point of having a reusable Gnomes is.

The other nice thing about this and Quicksilver Amulet is the ability to play creatures as Instants. It doesn't just serve to cheat things into play. It's one part Vedalken Orrery as well.

Yeah, I saw the Copper Gnomes comparison, but this meant more as a casual card then anything else, much like Quicksilver Amulet. If you somehow made a competitive deck based around Quicksilver Amulet, one activation of that would probably be enough, too.

Also, the "creature sneak" strategy has many cards to choose from: Quicksilver Amulet, green Myojin, Sneak Attack, Shifty Doppelganger, Volrath's Shapeshifter, (Timmy, Power Gamer), etc. etc. Artifacts only have one.

If we make cards for limited, then we can make cards for silly casual decks. :)
