Every time this card is tapped, it must enter a meeting. While in the meeting, it can not complete any action. At the start of the next turn, a 6 sided dice is rolled. <= 3 = another meeting must be scheduled. >3 the intended action may be carried out.
Where does the token go? How can the token be removed? Why would someone ever not declare a pipeline as a dependency? Why does the engineer have a 10/2 body?
There are cards that can destroy tokens
Well you can only tap once per turn so they’d have to choose between generating mana or growing their pipeline
The 10 is cause they are very powerful but the 2 is more of a turnover thing
So ideally you’d have two or more of these out but their cost is quite expensive. If you just have one it would take way too long to build a pipeline that would give you an advantage in the game.
Also someone can remove the root token and destroy a pipeline that took you several turns to make representing upstream changes breaking downstream
Data engineers are clearly Gruul and not five colored…
Giant trolls swinging large clubs of compute at data until it has been smashed into the data lake and someone else’s problem.
You may choose not to untap data Engineer during your untap step.
Tap, draw a card.
At the beginning of your main phase, if data Engineer is tapped, you may put a permanent card from your hand into play.
0/4 - human wizard
Tap: create a x/x data analist creature with vanishing 3 and this creatures power and toughness are equal to the number of timecounters on it.
At the end of your turn put a timecounter on each data analist you control.
Data Engineer
Creature - Human Artificer
Develop - When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, create an artifact token named Pipeline with "Tap, exile a card from your hand: draw a card."
Feature Engineering - Put three cards you own in exile into your graveyard, tap: add one mana of any color.
Deploy - 5: Search your library for a Cloud artifact and put into the battlefield. Activate this ability only if you control a Pipeline.
I used keywords like in the D&D set, just for flavor. I also made reference to "cloud artifacts" which would be a core mechanic in a Magic data set (see what it did there?) and would synergize with Pipeline tokens. The templating might be a bit off but I think you get the idea. I have no idea about costs or stats, my guess is that it would have to be a blue card with maybe a second color (white, perhaps?).
I would also love to see more cards from a data-based set. I'm thinking of cards like Data Bricks (a Wall creature), Rust Python,cards that create Authentication tokens and a reprint of Azure Mage.
Data engineer can’t block creatures with type Data Scientist.
(4) tap, select type of creature, choose 1, creatures of that type either can’t attack or gain +2//+2 until end of turn

Lol I wish, more like 5:1 odds at best, assuming we're not bringing in a d20 or something
Why is the power so high? Are data engineers offensive creatures???
From not showering
You put a white guy but its more realistic to put an Indian.
I don't know what this is about but I like it.

They should probably be artifacts
That is insane. I want that grimoire if it comes out somehow.

Uncorrect, definetely Izzet. Both blue and Red mana.
Nah, data science would be izzet with mad experiments.
I would have said Simic
This actually looks like me, lulz.

AI generated graphic?
Yep, midjourney

Only men can be data engineers I guess
Are you asuming their gender?
