That looks sweet. Blocks all day and gains you life when it does, really puts a stop to any early aggressive starts from your opponents.
The scry is just added little cherry on top. Will be interesting to see just how many artifacts are in the set, to see how often you can expect to trigger it in Limited.
Another turtle, and it even rewards durdling with lifegain and draw fixing. With the turle (0/3 or 1/4), camel (0/4), crane (1/3, flying), I'm getting the vibes of a slow limited format. Make sure you draft flyers.

We've already seen uncommon 2/3 vigilance lifelink flier and thopter tokens and a mulldrifter and the common sky skiff and the hive 2.0 printing thopters to block each turn, I'm sure theres reach aplenty in green to come
My hope is that the slow limited is intentional in an effort to push vehicles for a pseudo battlecruiser magic ala RoE, where you burst through the stalled board with the giant vehicles. Its notable that the vehicles almost all have evasion of some kind
Huh. I'm fairly certain the Contraband Kingpin is supposed to be female.

That Aetherborn guy is going to be very useful in Limited, free Scrying is always welcome, and a 1/4 for two mana can hold the fort quite nicely. I wouldn't be surprised to see it in Standard either, it's cheap enough to see play and the synergy with clues and the tokens that will probably be all over the place, is amazing.
The 3/2 guys is a very solid common for Limited, nothing more to add about it.
My brain keeps forgetting the mana cost on Contraband Kingpin, and assuming that it must be 1UB. I think I'm having a hard time processing the fact that you get all that goodness for only two mana.
It says KINGpin. If it was female it woulda been named queenpin duh!
Kingpin
Noun
-a person or thing that is essential to the success of an organization or operation.
Queenpin is actually not a word with standard usage or definition.

The Aetherborn are genderless and born of aether and thus have no need for sexual reproduction or identities. So the kingpin is neither male nor female.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.

Edit: Huh, it's been a while since I played Elder Cathar. Forgot that it gave two counters to humans.
