Great card to have in a mana-screwing deck. Turn 2, this, turn 3, turn an opponent's land into an artifact and Manic Vandal it, and they'd be down to 1 or 2 lands.

Viashino Heretic = {1}{R}, {T} Your permanents are on fire
March of the Machines = {T} Your lands are suddenly disappering
Splinter = {T} A great way to ensure you'll never play magic with that person again.

I've found LC most useful as a support card/subtheme. Like you can add a liquimetal to a red Eldrazi deck and add in things like Manic Vandal, and go with Lightning Bolt AND Galvanic Blast for fun.

I've also seen a deck that used this to coat Indomitable Archangel for laughs.

I have this picture in my head of manic vandal, oxidda scrapmelter, and hoard-smelter dragon all standing around what looks like an M&M dispenser.

Melts in your mouth, not in your hand... claw... talon...

Finally, Red knows how to kill enchantments: by dipping them in liquid-metal.

As a part-time Johnny, full-time Vorthos and almost-never Spike, my definition of a card's usefulness is based not around the power of its stats or its efficiency in getting card advantage, but rather on its abiility to contribute to some sort of plan or purpose. Therefore, while I can't claim this is the most powerful card in the set (by itself it does nothing, and a deck designed to use it with a bunch of Naturalizes has a bunch of dead cards if it fails to draw a copy - you'll notice that despite its low potency, it cannot be fetched with Trinket Mage and that was almost certainly deliberate), it is almost unuqestionably one of the most useful. As I work on my project of building 36 decks using cards from only this set, trying to make them as different as possible, this card pops up again and again. It can do little tiny tricks like getting you faster metalcraft or sacking a basic land to Ferrovore, or it can make immense plays like the nightmarish Splinter combo an... (see all)

Liquimetal Coating + Manic Vandals. Turn 3 vindicate on a 2/2 body. Thanks to it being an ETB on a 3 CMC creature it can be recurred by Sun Titan if it goes to the graveyard, or constantly abused if imprinted on a Mimic Vat. If you have the Vat out it can even deter attacks completely for fear of it being imprinted.

Revoke Existance is a good idea; it's just a pity it's sorcery speed. Still, it combos with just so much. Heck, even in limited you could just use it with some good metalcraft cards to make activation a lot easier.

This is hands down the best card in the set, anyone who didn't rate it 5 should not be playing magic. I'm surprised no one mentioned Revoke Existance yet.

Hmmm....
I may have finally found a card to replace the soon-to-be-gone Pithing Needle. Good-bye Planewalkers. Good-bye other annoying permanents. Now I just need to find room in my sideboard for this new great card.
5.0/5
