Wind-Kin Raiders

Creature — Human Artificer

Improvise (Your artifacts can help cast this spell. Each artifact you tap after you're done activating mana abilities pays for 1 generic.)
Flying

Small aeronaut societies like the Wind-Kin had little to lose by siding with the renegades, and much to gain.

Rulings (8)
  • Equipment attached to a creature doesn't become tapped when that creature becomes tapped, and tapping that Equipment doesn't cause the creature to become tapped.
  • Improvise doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
  • Improvise can't be used to pay for anything other than the cost of casting the spell. For example, it can't be used during the resolution of an ability that says "Counter target spell unless its controller pays 3 generic."
  • Improvise can't pay for White, Blue, Black, Red, Green, or Colorless mana symbols in a spell's total cost.
  • If an artifact you control has a mana ability with tap in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with improvise will result in the artifact being tapped when you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for improvise. Similarly, if you sacrifice an artifact to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with improvise, that artifact won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for improvise.
  • Tapping an artifact won't cause its abilities to stop applying unless those abilities say so.
  • When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Improvise applies after the total cost is calculated.
  • Because improvise isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
