Myr

The Myr token was released in 2016 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016 set. Designed as a functional accessory for gameplay, this token represents the small, construct creatures central to the lore of the plane of Mirrodin. Tokens like this are produced specifically to track the presence of creatures created by various spells and abilities during a match, serving as a utilitarian piece of the game's broader mechanics rather than a card for a player's main deck.

The illustration was commissioned from artist Ryan Pancoast, who captured the distinct aesthetic of the Myr with their iconic multi-limbed design and metallic, utilitarian chassis. Pancoast’s approach emphasizes the creature's functional nature, consistent with the visual language established for the species throughout the franchise. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its clear, clean design and utility in Commander format decks that focus on artifact-based strategies.
