About Sap Sucker

Sap Sucker, Artifact — contraption, designed by Chuck Lukacs first released in Dec, 2017 in the set Unstable. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.96.

The Sap Sucker card would benefit a ramp or mana acceleration deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it provides a consistent source of green mana without the usual restrictions of losing it at the end of each step and phase. While Sap Sucker can be useful in certain situations, there are better cards like Birds of Paradise or Llanowar Elves that provide mana acceleration without the need for cranking. However, for a deck focused on contraptions or with a specific synergy that benefits from cranking, Sap Sucker could see play as a unique and fun addition to the strategy.

Rules

01/19/18

Contraptions are artifacts. Anything that interacts with artifacts will interact with Contraptions.

01/19/18

If you crank multiple Contraptions, their abilities can be put onto the stack in any order. The ability put onto the stack will resolve first.

01/19/18

If you or a permanent you control are instructed to assemble a Contraption, reveal the top card of your Contraption deck. Put it onto the battlefield on one of the three sprockets.

01/19/18

If you or a permanent you control assembles a Contraption and your Contraption deck is empty, nothing happens. You don’t lose the game.

01/19/18

In Constructed formats, a Contraption deck must have at least fifteen different Contraption cards and no more than one of each.

01/19/18

In silver-bordered games using Contraptions, you have three sprockets, illustrated on the back of Contraption cards. At the start of the game, put a CRANK! counter on sprocket 3.
