Provenance

Where it came from

Liquimetal Coating was originally introduced in the Scars of Mirrodin set in 2010, designed as a utility artifact to manipulate the card types of permanents on the battlefield. It fits into the broader theme of the Mirrodin plane, where metal and machinery define the environment, allowing players to turn any target permanent into an artifact for various tactical synergies.

The version included in The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts set features a nostalgic, classic frame design that mimics the aesthetic of early Magic: The Gathering cards. Johann Bodin provided the illustration for this printing, focusing on the transformative, liquid-metallic essence of the object, capturing the industrial and alchemical spirit that defines the artifact's role in gameplay.
