I had an potentially interesting idea, but was unsure if it was worth the hassle.
Broken-Down Guard2 Artifact Creature - Golem (U)
CARDNAME enters the field tapped and doesn't untap during your untap step.
Vigilance
5/5
It would require a set with enough common untappers to build around it. Is there a mana cost and P/T combination that would make that worthwhile without being too abusable?
5/5 is a worthwhile prize to jump this hoop. The casting cost is very dependent on how many ways to activate it are in the set, and how many ways to deactivate it there are.
If it were only played in an environment with Puppeteer, Veteran's Reflexes, and Frost Breath (as the only cards that interacted with it) I'd say 2 is a fair cost.
Cool Johnny/Spike beater. Depends very much on what's around to enable it but I like the design. It's a more "meaty" reward than Hatching Plans and probably easier to use too.
May I suggest making it a 4/4? Your set would need a common twiddle effect, and a few untappers at common, but this would be quite the powerhouse once "fixed"...
You've got to remember this is "uncharted waters", more or less. You can either make the untappers efficient and make this a 4/4, or make the untappers less efficient and make this a 5/5.
I say it's fine leaving it at "about this big" since there's no way you can narrow down to the most correct numbers without a metagame surrounding it. A ballpark figure is fine.
