Myr

The Myr token was released as part of the Modern Horizons set in 2019, a Wizards of the Coast product designed to introduce new cards directly into Modern-legal formats. Within the game's lore, Myr are small, metallic constructs originally created by the Phyrexian faction on the plane of Mirrodin. They are defined by their utilitarian nature and their ability to function as efficient, mana-producing assistants, which is reflected in their frequent appearance as tokens generated by various artifact-themed spells.

Artist Ryan Pancoast illustrated this specific version of the Myr, emphasizing the creature's compact, machine-like anatomy and its distinctive metallic sheen. His design captures the classic aesthetic established for the race during the original Mirrodin block, focusing on a balance between industrial function and the unique, bug-like biology of the construct. The token was well-received by the player base for its clarity and its faithful representation of a creature type that has remained a staple of Magic: The Gathering for nearly two decades.
