About Duplication Device
Duplication Device, Artifact — contraption, designed by Jason Felix first released in December 2017 in the set Unstable. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.76.
This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on creature synergy or has powerful creatures with beneficial abilities that you would like to duplicate. Decks that revolve around combo strategies or have creatures with strong enter-the-battlefield effects could make good use of the Duplication Device. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, the uniqueness of turning a creature into an artifact in addition to copying it sets this card apart. Whether or not it should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but it certainly has the potential to create interesting and powerful board states.
Rules
01/19/2018
Any Contraption that's on the battlefield and wasn't assembled immediately heads to the scrapyard. However, if it's a not an actual Contraption card (like Copy Artifact isn't), it goes to your graveyard as normal. Non-Contraption cards can't be in the scrapyard.
01/19/2018
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control any Contraptions, move the CRANK! counter to the next sprocket. You may then crank any number of Contraptions on that sprocket, causing their abilities to trigger. Cranking a Contraption is always optional.
01/19/2018
Contraptions are artifacts. Anything that interacts with artifacts will interact with Contraptions.
01/19/2018
Contraptions aren't put into your main deck. They go into a separate deck called the Contraption deck.
01/19/2018
If a Contraption would leave the battlefield and go to any zone other than exile, it instead goes to the scrapyard, the Contraption deck's version of the graveyard. Things that affect the graveyard do not affect the scrapyard. You can exile Contraptions just fine.
01/19/2018
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.
01/19/2018
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.
01/19/2018
If you or a permanent you control assembles a Contraption and your Contraption deck is empty, nothing happens. You don’t lose the game.
01/19/2018
In Constructed formats, a Contraption deck must have at least fifteen different Contraption cards and no more than one of each.
01/19/2018
In Limited formats, a Contraption deck may include any number of Contraption cards in your card pool. You don't have to include every Contraption card you draft or open in sealed deck. In those formats, your Contraption deck may include duplicates.
01/19/2018
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.
01/19/2018
While Contraptions you control are on the battlefield, the Contraption deck is not, even if you are using it to signify the three sprockets.
