Provenance

Where it came from

Liquimetal Coating was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion, a set that revisited the plane of Mirrodin, a world constructed entirely of metal. This card was designed to mechanically represent the pervasive, transformative nature of the Phyrexians, the set's primary antagonists, whose influence was slowly corrupting the artificial environment of the plane.

Artist Johann Bodin rendered the artifact with a sleek, industrial aesthetic that emphasizes the card's function of turning targets into metal. The design aims to capture the cold, clinical nature of Mirrodin’s evolution, and the card was well-received by players for its versatile utility in various artifact-themed strategies, particularly in formats where manipulating card types provides a significant tactical advantage.
