Lore
Rashmi, a gifted elven engineer, is one of the main characters in the story of "Kaladesh". She helped to create the giant mechanical marvels that populate the plane of Kaladesh, such as the Skysovereign and the Renegade Freighter. However, her greatest invention turned out to be the Device, a machine that could capture raw aether and turn it into the fuel for Kaladesh's technology.
Unfortunately, Rashmi's Device was seized by the Consulate, the ruling authority of Kaladesh who saw it as a threat to their power. Rashmi went into hiding, but was eventually tracked down by the renegade Chandra Nalaar and her team. Rashmi joined forces with Chandra and the rest of the renegades to overthrow the Consulate and take back the Device.
Gameplay
Rashmi is a powerful card that can provide a lot of card advantage if built around correctly. Her ability triggers every turn, allowing players to potentially cast multiple spells for free or at a reduced cost. Pairing her with cheap and efficient spells can help to maximize her potential.
Some popular cards to include with Rashmi are "Opt", "Sleight of Hand", and "Serum Visions". These can help players to continually scry and draw cards, increasing the chances of hitting a nonland card with a lower mana cost than the spell being cast.
Overall, Rashmi is a fun and versatile card that can provide a lot of value in the right deck. Her lore is also an interesting addition to the story of "Kaladesh".
