Where it came from
Metallic Mimic was released in early 2017 as part of the Aether Revolt set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed as a versatile artifact creature intended to bridge tribal archetypes, allowing players to choose a creature type as it enters the battlefield to provide a power and toughness buff to all subsequent creatures of that type. The card quickly became a staple in synergy-heavy formats, valued for its ability to bolster decks built around specific creature types.
The illustrative work for this specific promo version, numbered 164s, was handled by artist Min Yum. This promotional variant features unique art distinct from the standard set release, emphasizing the construct's mechanical, shifting nature within the lore of the steampunk-inspired plane of Kaladesh. It was distributed through official organized play channels, such as Friday Night Magic events, and was well-received by players for its balance of utility and aesthetic design.
