Where it came from
Molten-Tail Masticore was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin set, a return to the metallic, artifact-dominated plane of Mirrodin. The card was designed as a modern iteration of the classic Masticore from the Urza's Destiny set, staying true to the theme of resource-intensive, high-damage artifact creatures that demand a constant sacrifice of cards to fuel their destructive capabilities.
The creature's visceral illustration was provided by artist Volkan Baga, who emphasized the creature's jagged, industrial aesthetic and its status as a weapon of the Phyrexians. Upon its debut, the card was widely analyzed by competitive players for its utility as a repeatable removal engine, earning a reputation for being a formidable finisher in control decks that could easily refill their hand to sustain its upkeep cost.
