Magic: The Gathering's Mirrodin Besieged release events include a copy of the recently unveiled Thopter Assembly. Ornithopter fans need look no further for this interesting and potentially game breaking (in Limited) aircraft carrier of everyone's favorite creature type.
Thopter Assembly

Artifact Creature - Thopter Rare
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control no Thopters other than Thopter Assembly, return Thopter Assembly to its owners hand and put five 1/1 colorless Thopter artifcat creature tokens with flying onto the battlefield.
5/5
While Thopter Assembly may not have the legendary factor of the prerelease Glissa, the Traitor, it's a terrifying aerial assault squad to behold, allowing for continued replenishment of an artifact attack team. Without leaving the Scars of Mirrodin block, a simple Tempered Steel will provide 15 points of flying power and toughness on the board from a single Thopter trigger.
Moving outside of Scars of Mirrodin, Thopter Assembly is a game sealer for the classic Time Sieve deck, and a perfect choice to refuel any sort of sacrifice engine.
Sure, this wonderworks of thoptery goodness will meet an unfortunate end to Shatter or Revoke Existence like many other bombs in Scars of Mirrodin, but Thopter Assembly only has to survive one turn to unleash a payload of flying metal.

Thopter Assembly is certainly a great addition to any Mirrodin Besieged Limited deck, and may have players considering Mirran faction as they make the decision to side with Phyrexian or Mirran forces for the Mirrodin Besieged prerelease events.
