Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
Once you've gotten the flip conditions on a creature it only takes one activation to flip it. So you can flip one Blueprints for a maximum of :9mana:, but two for :12mana:.
If you have one that's already flipped, you can target it once with the ability and trigger the flip, though the same can be said for any creature with two of the three, like Vault Skirge.
One of the best YMTC's so far IMO. Good job everyone.

It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.

The idea of Vault Skirge as a combo piece is very amusing.

The only thing that didn't really click with me here is the "Blueprints" part of the name. Other than that, this is the first time I'm really happy with one of these.
I was playing a draft the second week up avacyn being out and i was constructing my deck when the guy across from me spilled his cherry kool-aid all over mine and his cards, he had a griselbrand and I had a cavern of souls.
Nice card! I've been waiting to see what you guys were going to come up with after the land! it looks like a fun card that I want to personally play with.

The only thing I don't love with all my heart about this is lifelink - it just feels off for a dreadnought to have it.
Like, trample would be more appropriate since dreadnoughts bash through everything, although double evasion is kinda eeeehhh.
Would vigilance have worked? Flavorwise, it makes sense, it seems like those giant zeppelin type ships never really "tap down" they can fire continuously, right?
But yeah, other than the dislike of lifelink from a flavor standpoint, this is my favorite design a card so far, wonderful job guys.
Ironically i would like to see "shroud" used here, just that you have to target it with "shroud" last (and players will screw this up for sure).
LifeLink might be overkill on this flyer, as its "potentially" a totally busted 3 mana bomb that beats pretty much any other creature thats not Emrakul (simply because of lifelink, and hexproof is redicilous protection aswell).
Power aside, its a nice design, as it encourages you to play creatures with the abilities right from the start and its pretty fun to look for creatures that are cheap enough and have 2+ of that abilities packed on them (for hexproof its too new, even lifelink is a little odd, as some old cards use the non-lifelink trigger).
Would also liked:
vigilance, flying, first strike
More as the other abilities.
Sure they are weaker, but they make more sence on the creature and offer more creatures with them.
Overall a nice card, powerwise might be not perfect, and hexproof might not be the best ability choice (unless it was mandatory, didnt read all the conditions).
Lol this card with vampire nighthawk would be rediculous

it works.

The lifelink was a casualty of the system. The abilities were chosen before the art/name, so the flavor ended up a little off. I would probably change it to vigilance in hindsight, but I think this works just as well.

So the blueprints themselves turn into an 8/8 flying machine? Wouldn't this be much better templated to be a 'sac this and put in a token' rather than a flip mechanic?
It seems possible to flip up to three of these for only 9. The first one gives a creature flying, the second one gives that same creature lifelink, than a third one gives it hexproof. Since they all targeted the same creature, their flip condition is met and they all flip. 24/24 for only 9.
Given the current power creep in the game, this card seems almost legit. Very clever design.
Lifelink is appropriate because it's a Tolarian creature, from the school for good guys.

Wouldn't only the last one actually trigger? Correct me if i'm wrong, but the ability only checks to see if the creature has all three when it resolves, so even if you did target the same creature with all three, only the last one would actually see it and flip over.

I tend to agree with this. Otherwise the card is a Johnny's dream.
