Rationale
Saheeli generates energy from Artificer/artifact casts and spends {E}{E}{E} at the start of combat to clone any permanent as a hasty 5/5 artifact creature until end of turn — a repeatable polymorph-style threat that can copy value engines, combo pieces, or finishers. She is a signature payoff in artifact-matters and combo shells (copying mana doublers, ETB engines, or reanimation targets for one free swing). The energy accumulation means dense artifact decks can trigger her nearly every turn, but she requires a board to copy and is a removal magnet.
Learnings (3)
Saheeli's copy trigger fires at the beginning of combat, meaning the copy is created before declare attackers — the hasty 5/5 token can attack immediately that same turn.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
Copying a mana-producing permanent (e.g., a creature that taps for mana) with Saheeli's trigger can generate significant burst mana the same combat before the token is sacrificed at end step.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
The energy generation triggers on CAST, not resolution — countered Artificer/artifact spells still grant {E}, making her ceiling higher in blue shells that use cantripping artifacts or cheap artifacts even if they get removed.
