Yes, I had found that too, I use Google translate all the time so it was the first thing I turned to (even if stucco and mastice are two different things in Italian), but I meant that I don't understand what I'm supposed to do as a card. Do I have to somewhat represent putty? Or one that uses it... maybe make a mason creature? Sometimes I struggle with the interpretation of the prompt, especially when it's so generic like it is today and when it's out of the box. I think that my inability to think out of the box is well known by now. I think I'll make a mason creature.

p.s. Wait! Brick counters were a thing in Amonkhet! Perfect for a mason!
Votes: dyd, Venedrex

I don't know how much it fits the prompt, but here we go. See spoiler above for the thought process behind the card.

City Mason 1W
Creature — Human Artificer (U)
Whenever a noncreature artifact enters the battlefield under your control, put a brick counter on City Mason.
1, T, Remove three brick counters from City Mason: Create a 0/5 colorless Wall artifact creature token with defender.
"Bricks and putty, all you need to build a strong wall!"
2/2
