Mycosynth Lattice

Mycosynth Lattice was originally printed in the 2004 set Darksteel, representing the metallic, infective nature of the plane of Mirrodin. Its inclusion in the 2018 Battlebond set—a supplemental set designed specifically for Two-Headed Giant gameplay—offered players a fresh opportunity to acquire this powerful artifact. The card’s design, which treats all permanents on the battlefield as artifacts, serves as a cornerstone for complex combo strategies in the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, reflecting the deep mechanical synergy characteristic of the Mirrodin block.

The artwork for this version, rendered by artist Daniel Ljunggren, leans into the surreal, industrial horror aesthetic that defines the Phyrexian-influenced regions of the multiverse. Ljunggren’s contribution emphasizes the transformation of organic matter into cold, lattice-like structures, a visual narrative that underscores the card's function of unifying the board state under the artifact subtype. Upon its re-release, the card remained a sought-after staple for competitive Commander and Eternal format players, valued for both its game-altering potential and its thematic role in Magic lore.
