Construct

The Construct token (collector number 34) was released in 2023 as part of the March of the Machine Commander set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. These tokens are essential gameplay accompaniments, produced by Wizards of the Coast to represent temporary game entities summoned by specific cards within the set's preconstructed decks. The design reflects the visual language of the Phyrexians, the primary antagonists of the March of the Machine storyline, characterized by a metallic, biomechanical aesthetic intended to convey a sense of artificial, cold menace.

The illustration for this token is credited to artist Heonhwa Choe, who leaned into the established Phyrexian design identity of the set. The artwork utilizes a muted color palette and sharp, aggressive lines to depict the Construct as a functional, war-torn machine rather than a sentient being. Upon release, the token was well-received by players for its thematic consistency, as it effectively bridged the gap between the mechanical nature of the card type and the overarching dark, industrial narrative of the set.
