Esper animalia, Phyrexian fauna ~ Make a colored artifact creature *CIRCUIT CHALLENGE*(RESULT POSTD)
New Phyrexia is one of my favorite sets flavorfully. I love its menacing artifact creatures especially the colored artifact ones like porcelain legionnaire.
So for this contest, I'd like you to make artifact creatures using the new colored borders!
Rules~
1. Must be a colored artifact creature card
2. Older, updated cards ACCEPTED this time. I know many made some probably that we want to update now.
3. Up to two entries per participant.
4. Formatting, flavor, balance, templating, proper grammar all matter and will affect your chances of winning!
Prizes~
1st place: PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION, 8 favorites of your choice, and 1 whole circuit point!!!
2nd place: 5 favorites of your choice and 3/4 circuit point!!
3rd place: 3 favorites of your choice and 1/2 circuit point!
Honorable mentions (5): 1 favorite of your choice and 1/4 circuit point!
Advice?!
I'm not necessarily looking for the most super powerful, ability full creatures, but creatures rather that explore the fauna and animalia of what these creatures would be like. Cool original mechanics or clever usage of old ones are of course going to stand out but also a simple, common colored artifact creature can feel special to me in its own way.
Contest ends Friday, June 16th at midnight.
Good luck everyone, enjoy.

In the Dominaria set, specifically on the card Serra Disciple which I'm using as a reference point, it's written as 'whenever you cast a historic spell.' I don't know if Americans do things differently, but technically it should be 'whenever you cast an historic spell.' Now, I may well have made this mistake myself in the past, but for this card I decided to be extremely pernickety and difficult and put 'an historic spell' even though that's not the wording Wizards uses.

Have this
Lets see how bad my custom mechanic works
So the way I understand it is you use ‘a’ when the h is pronounced and ‘an’ when the h is pronounced.
E.g.
A horse
An honor
Since the h in historic is pronounced, you use ‘a’
It's a fiddly bit of language, that's for sure, but I do maintain that in this case it's 'an historic,' though there are cases where h is proceeded by 'a' certainly. I may well be wrong, however and I am making too much of a fuss about something ultimately unimportant.
Edit: having looked it up I think that you can pronounce it either way, with 'an' being more common in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 'A' is becoming increasingly the norm, however, perhaps understandably.
English is so crazy

My second entry, maybe should be a rare instead?
THIS IS AN ENTRY

I've never been one for red or blue, and white simply isn't my style. So I hope you enjoy these Black and Green beings.
