Provenance

Where it came from

The Somber Hoverguard was originally released in the 2004 Mirrodin set and later reprinted in Modern Masters 2015, a curated collection designed to draftable specifications for the Modern format. It was crafted during a period when Wizards of the Coast leaned heavily into artifact-centric mechanics, reflecting the industrial, metallic aesthetic of the Mirrodin plane where organic life was increasingly replaced by chrome and steel.

The card features artwork by Adam Rex, an illustrator known for his imaginative and textured style. Rex depicted the Hoverguard as a haunting, mechanical sentry consistent with the set's bleak yet intricate design language. Upon its re-release in Modern Masters 2015, it was utilized by players as a functional common, prized for its affinity for artifacts mechanic which allows for efficient deployment in limited environments.
