Servo ExhibitionHow it works & interactions with other cards

Creating the Swarm

When you cast Servo Exhibition, you follow a straightforward process: you pay the mana cost of one white and one generic mana, and upon resolution, two 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature tokens enter the battlefield. Because these are both artifact and creature tokens, they will trigger any abilities that look for either type entering the battlefield.

Step-by-Step Resolution

First, you place Servo Exhibition on the stack and pay its costs. If the spell is not countered by an opponent, it begins to resolve. You simultaneously create two Servo tokens; these are not cast, so they cannot be countered individually. Once the tokens are on the battlefield, the sorcery card is put into your graveyard.

Strategic Timing

As a sorcery, you can only cast this during your main phase when the stack is empty. It is best used early in the game to establish blockers or to prepare for mid-game effects that benefit from having multiple artifacts in play, such as 'Affinity' or 'Improvise' mechanics.

Common Misconceptions

Players often forget that these tokens are colorless, meaning they are unaffected by spells that target specific colors. Additionally, since two tokens are created at once, effects that trigger 'whenever one or more creatures enter the battlefield' will only trigger once, whereas effects that trigger 'whenever a creature enters' will trigger twice.

Interaction examples

Double the Tokens

Servo

When you cast Servo Exhibition, you create two Servo tokens. Each Servo is a 1/1 artifact creature. If an opponent has a card that destroys all artifacts, both tokens will be destroyed because they share the artifact type.

Graveyard Synergy

Sevinne's Reclamation

Servo Exhibition has a mana value of 2. If it is in your graveyard, you can cast Sevinne's Reclamation to return it to the battlefield. However, since Servo Exhibition is a sorcery and not a permanent, Sevinne's Reclamation cannot target it. You must ensure your targets for reclamation are permanents like creatures or enchantments.

Searching for Support

Open the Armory

After creating your two 1/1 Servo tokens with Servo Exhibition, you might want to power them up. You can cast Open the Armory to search your library for an Equipment card, such as a sword or shield, to reveal it and put it into your hand to later equip to one of your Servos.
