i would argue that circa GTC assemble does in fact exist mechanically.

They could have made the Trap subtype be on artifacts instead, and called the Contraptions. Well... they still can I guess :)

Jesus Christ when I look back on the first four decades of Magic it's so obvious they had no idea what they were doing. Even with the removal of Haste in the M23 rulechange the assembly doubling here is ludicrous and just means you can't play 21st Century format without several billion bitcoins to drop.

If I have two of these, will I still only assemble two contraptions?

Guys, this just might be the Theros card that had been only done once before!

If riggers and contraptions are EVER a thing, this guy will be in massive demand. Riggers would most likely be something similar to token generators that benefit artifacts, so increasing the speed of token creation will be really useful if contraptions are worth anything.

i bet the riggers and contraption would be like thallids and saprolings, just that the cotraptions would be artifact tokens with "sacrifice: deal 1 damage to target creature or player" and wouldnt be creatures, and the riggers would be the thallids. could be very strong.

I run izzet-rigger control and love giving my buddy's newspaper ramp deck the old 'oil spill' if you know what i mean. Blown Headgasket really upsets the little mana dumplings flow, breaking down a terrifying turn 3 curve into some Orzhov fatty. once i've depleted his hand with Contraption Mishappen and Smog Check, theres not much left to do but drop your win con, Steamflogger Boss. I love deploying the bomb 3/3 for 4, the look in my opponent's eyes is priceless. The best part is, he's knows i run 3 copies of Rite of Replication, JUST TO COPY THIS DUDE 5 TIMES. all other riggers get +1/0 AND haste wizards?? you gave me no other choice. i'd run izzet-rigger control sometime in a PTQ, but i dont want all the metadeckers getting my sweet list, know what im sayin? solid card 5/5.

From what I've read, this is a reference to Great Wall. It's a card that prevents creatures from having plainswalk, printed at a time when only one ever had it.
