Where it came from
Contagious Nim was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set marked a return to the metal-dominated plane of Mirrodin, introducing the Phyrexian faction's corruptive influence to the world. As a common black creature card, the Nim was designed to showcase the set's central 'infect' mechanic, which mechanically represents the spread of Phyrexian oil and toxicity.
The card was illustrated by artist Whit Brachna, who captured the grotesque, biomechanical aesthetic synonymous with the Phyrexians. In the game's lore, the Nims are undead entities repurposed by Phyrexian corruption, and Brachna’s design emphasizes this transition through sharp, jagged forms and a sickly, dark color palette. The card was received as a functional, aggressive piece for limited play environments, fitting perfectly into the set’s themes of attrition and gradual infection.
