Something Simulacrum ~ Make an artifact with a triggered ability (results POSTED!)
Like one of the more famous artifact creatures, solemn simulacrum, I'd like you to make an artifact with one or more triggered abilities. To add more challenge: you cannot use more than one of any other category of ability. So any number of triggered, only one of either spell, activated, or static. The focus is on designing an interesting artifact card with triggered abilities.
Rules~
1. Must be an artifact or artifact creature card
2. Must use at least one or more triggered abilities
3. Cannot have more than ONE of any other type of ability than triggered abilities (static, activated, spell) NEW: exception extended to "equip" and "crew" they won't count toward this
4. Must have been made by MAY 1ST, or later. No cards older than May 1st accepted.
5. Up to two entries per participant
6. Formatting, flavor, balance, templating, proper grammar all matter and will affect your chances of winning!
Prizes~
1st place: 5 favorites of your choice
2nd place: 3 favorites of your choice
3rd place: 2 favorites of your choice
Honorable mentions (2): 1 favorite of your choice
Contest ends Friday, May 25th at midnight.
Good luck!! Have fun!

Thankfully, there is record of Alchor alive and well, reading from his famous Tome.

On Piper - she compares favorably to Goblin Matron and Lin Sivvi. I think she's very playable.
Why is she an artifact?
Your card uses a single ability word, fateful hour, and an triggered ability upon entering the battlefield. Check and check. But it then creates a creature with multiple static abilities, and an activated ability, to regenerate. Can you remake the card to include overall just one of the other kind of abilities? (Static, activated...?) otherwise it's stretching the rule of the contest. The fateful hour ability to sacrifice into a creature is the limit, the creature having many static abilities etc is what makes me.feel it breaks the rules, sorry.
Let me know if I need to explain it a little better
Why thank you XD
Orr do you think that's too harsh? Just let me know I may change my.mind for equipment specifically.

Up to you. Seems fine to me to make an "Equipment Exception" if you want.
New rule, neither EQUIP nor CREW will count toward your total non-triggered ability count.
I fixed the link.
