Provenance

Where it came from

The Battered Golem was released as part of the Fifth Dawn set in June 2004, serving as the conclusion to the Mirrodin block. Set on an artificial metal plane, the card reflects the thematic focus on artifact-centric mechanics and the remnants of the setting's synthetic inhabitants after the conclusion of the block's narrative arc.

The illustration was provided by artist Jim Murray, who captured the creature's patchwork, damaged aesthetic to align with its namesake. The design emphasizes the card's mechanical utility as a creature that grows in power when other artifacts enter the battlefield, a functional reflection of the set's broader preoccupation with artifact synergy and incremental growth.
