Don't forget that it was Future Sight, the same set that referenced Plainswalkers before they were even a type and had Goldmeadow Lookout which made a token named Goldmeadow Harrier, a card that was later printed in Lorwyn. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of "riggers" or "contraptions".

Well, it's better than Hill Giant. Plus, if you have more than one they boost each other. Get 4 and you have an army of 6/3s. Plus the inclusion of a mechanic that hasn't even been implemented over five years later is pretty funny. 3.5/5
Oh, and combos with Moriok Rigger. No, really!

When I saw this card, I thought it was unglued or unhinged since there was no Contraption ability. Strange stuff.

look future sight was a look into the future meaning it may still have not come out so quit posting that it sucks or it's a gag card because we don't know yet and won't till it either comes out or magic Ends I am willing to bet that if a set like this ever came out it's rating would sky rocet (maybe) so why hate rate it when you don't know if it will be usefull, I mean there very well could be a steampunck goblin set (please god) in our future or at least a steampunck one. I for one ( and probably the only one) would love to get this in a pack and would love to laugh at all who thought it would never exist when (or if) it comes out. now it would have sucked if this card was mythic in this set, but if it ever came out in the set it came in I'm sure it would be mythic. this will be the next tarmogoyf
EDIT Contraption is an artifact type, perhaps it's not a joke after all!

This is one of those great cards that someone who's just starting magic can get excited about.
And then get utterly, utterly disappointed when they later find out there's no contraptions.

The set's name is Future Sight, you know. Goblins in the future will assemble contraptionsex while wearing exoskeletons.

I'd be absolutely hilarious if he was legendary

I'm sorry, but the Errata'd subtype on Moriok Rigger is troll-licious. I think I'll stick with my purist Rigger deck, thank you Wizards.

Assembling a Contraption is mostly likely an idea WotC would implement after running out of a lot of design space. The complexity level is high. But since "assemble" would be a new game term it would be clear that it would follow new rules amended to the rule book which would go beyond, "sacrificing" or "exiling" some artifacts to make a token. There are already game terms for this. I would suspect that if they added "assemble" to the list of game terms it would involve stacking multiple artifact cards to create one Contraption that has all abilities, or given the rules text of Steamflogger Boss, it may be one token device built from several token parts that ceases to function once one of the pieces is destroyed or otherwise severed from the whole, perhaps also allowing the pieces to function independently with part of the device's capability. I like the idea of combing existing artifacts together to create one thing, however if this were the case assembling two of them would be of lit... (see all)

People seriously need to be reminded that Moriok Rigger exists . . . do they?
It doesn't say "assemble two target Contraptions", so Contraptions don't seem to be something that can be targeted. However, in the Comp Rules, it is stated that Contraption is an artifact subtype.
