About Dictation Quillograph

Dictation Quillograph, Artifact — contraption, designed by Ralph Horsley first released in Dec, 2017 in the set Unstable. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.59.

Dictation Quillograph would fit well in a deck focused on card draw and discard synergy, such as a Madness or Reanimator deck, where you can benefit from drawing and discarding cards to fuel your strategy. While there are other cards that offer similar effects, such as Bident of Thassa, which provides card draw on combat damage, Dictation Quillograph's ability to grant this effect to any creature makes it versatile. However, it may not be a staple in competitive play, as decks often prioritize more efficient card draw engines or creatures with built-in card advantage. Overall, it can see play in casual formats or specific builds but might be outclassed in more competitive environments.

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.
