Today we look
at what might be the best card in First Edition Part
2. The uncommon Gearsmith character Schproingmajig.
If not the best, certainly the first card to incite
calls of “broken!”
For a cost of 6 with threshold 2, this 4/4/2 has
more consistent potential than any other character
to become HUGE. Berserker Corps makes permanent
gains where Schproingmajig’s gains are temporary,
but sooner or later the chances are that the Corps
will have to eat itself while the S-Majig drives on.
With every character you deplete the S-Majig gains
+2/+2
Oh, then there’s that other ability. The Schproing!
in Schproingmajig. Destroy one of your characters
and attack with S-Majig solo and he’s unblockable.
How can you beat that? And what’s the first combo
you should shoot for with S-Majig? Why Micromajig
Shipping Container of course! Deplete MSC (+2/+2),
destroy MSC (unblockable) deplete you 5 new
Micromajig tokens (+10/+10) and your just smashed
face for 16 on turn 4 and should have game on turn
5.
Powerful? No doubt. Unstoppable? No. Best card in
Part 2? Maybe…
In limited, it may be the best card period. In
constructed, it was almost universally added to the
dominant Node decks from First Edition.

Schproingmajig
Oh here we go. I could
write volumes on this amazing piece of R&D tested,
player approved craziness- the Schproingmajig. This
guy is a six cost double Gearsmith threshold
character with 4 strength, 4 life, and 2 speed. By
himself he isn't much to be afraid of, but his three
effects make him one of the most incredible
characters in the game currently.
His first ability allows him to deplete another
character in order to add two strength and two life
to his four. This means a humoungous blocker and
attacker, especially when combined with cheap
efficient characters in order to create one gigantic
beatstick.
His second ability allows him to sacrifice another
character in order to make him unblockable. This is
an amazing ability, completely intertwined with the
first in that you can pump him with the first
ability and then make him unblockable. When combined
with cards like Micromajig Shipping Container, this
card can win you games singlehandidly.
In constructed this card defines Gearsmtih in my
eyes. In limited, he makes players go deep into the
Gearsmith trade.
