If Infect with Unfinity spells was mind-blowing, how about Mishra’s Workshop casting a Clown Car? Thanks to the Dungeons and Dragons sets introducing dice to mainline Magic, you can now do that, and there’s actually a pretty good reason to do so. While you can’t control the precise mix of +1/+1 counters and tokens, you’ll get a pretty even spread of them on average (over multiple games, if nothing else), and no matter how big the car gets, it always has the same crew cost, which is notable when compared to other vehicles. As a late-game topdeck, it’s basically a one-card table swarm, whether it’s going tall or wide. And in casual settings, it goes well with Unfinity and Unstable‘s cards that want you to roll dice, among others.

Pay X, get X+1 in total stats. Seems simple, right? The downside to Clown Car is the luck element at play, where you don’t get much say in how the stats are allocated, be they in warm(?) bodies or a more powerful Clown Car, and it being a baseline of crew 2 means that it’s likely less useful if you’re just dropping this for zero. That said, this is a solid enough zero-mana artifact with some intrigue about it, and if you get lucky, you might just get the right combination of stats and bodies to make your opponents die from whatever it is that clowns offer.
