Renegade's Getaway
Instant
Target permanent gains indestructible until end of turn. Create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token. (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy a permanent with indestructible, and if it's a creature, it can't be destroyed by damage.)

Renegade's Getaway saves a permanent from removal and leaves behind a 1/1 Servo token — two bodies of work for two mana at instant speed. It's a reasonable protection spell in artifact or token strategies, but the token stapled on doesn't elevate it past more efficient options like Heroic Intervention in most contexts.

In Commander, Renegade's Getaway occupies the low end of the protection spell spectrum — it answers a single targeted removal or board wipe aimed at one permanent, and the Servo token is a small bonus that occasionally matters in sacrifice or artifact synergy decks. Competitive Commander players will almost always prefer Heroic Intervention or Teferi's Protection for broader coverage, but budget artifact decks will find Renegade's Getaway a serviceable include. In Pauper, the common slot is crowded with protection options, and the token upside gets more interesting in go-wide or blink shells. It's functionally unplayed in Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage, where two mana for conditional single-target protection doesn't clear the bar.

Price Context
Current price
$0.14 bulk tier
At $0.14, Renegade's Getaway is deep bulk — you're not paying for power, you're paying for a filler slot. It won't appreciate, but it also won't cost you anything to slot into a casual artifact or token deck while you upgrade to better protection spells over time.
