{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|W=9|U=9}} as of ''[[Unsanctioned]]'' }} '''Cyborg''' is a [[silver-bordered]] [[creature]] [[subtype|type]] used for cards that depict persons whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into the body. ==History== Cyborg was introduced and so far has been exclusively used for the ''[[Unstable]]'' [[Order of the Widget]] faction cards. When asked if the type would ever be used in a future set, [[Mark Rosewater]] stated that they may examine using it if a set had a character that was strongly a cyborg.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/730355175123992576/where-do-cyborgs-which-appeared-in-unstable-but#notes|title=Where do cyborgs, which appeared in Unstable but haven't been used elsewhere, fall on the Beeble Scale?|October 5, 2023}}</ref> However, it was later noted that the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' card <c>Nardole, Resourceful Cyborg</c> was created as an [[artifact creature]] of the type [[Scientist]] without the Cyborg type, which he stated didn't bode well for the type.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/730360255150702592/as-a-follower-to-a-previous-askers-question-about#notes|title=Does this suggest that cyborg status is more likely to be represented by artifact typing than by the use of the creature type?|October 5, 2023}}</ref> Though following this it was also noted that its exclusion may have just been due to the length of the type line rather then any final decision on the Cyborg type.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/730380756901298176/hi-mark-could-it-be-possible-that-nardoe-isnt-a#notes|title=Could it be possible that Nardoe isn't a Cyborg because "Legendary Artifact Creature - Cyborg Scientist" doesn't fit on the typeline?|October 5, 2023}}</ref> ==Trivia== * Similar to [[Zombie]]s, Cyborg functions as both a class and a race. When no other race appears in the [[type line]], the default race for cyborgs as seen in their art is [[human]]. <c>Blurry Beeble</c> is an example of a non-human cyborg. * The crossover [[Cyberman]] and [[Dalek]] races are technically cyborgs, as are {{card|Nardole, Resourceful Cyborg||WHO}} and {{card|Davros, Dalek Creator||WHO}}, although none of these have the Cyborg creature type. ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races|state=collapsed}} {{Acorn|types}}
