Thopter Spy Network Trivia

Hi Mark! For my birthday, could I have some trivia on my favorite card from Origins - Thopter Spy Network? (Failing that, I'd also accept trivia about the Thopter archetype in Origins in general.)

The Origins design team had to figure out how to give Blue and Red cards a feel of Kaladesh. They knew it had to have an artifact component but how to do that with colored cards? They eventually found the solution - an artifact token. Playtesting showed that it needed some kind of evasion and thus Thopters were born. Happy Birthday!
