If building a deck around this card, the best search card seems to be ancient stirrings as, best case scenario it gets you this for 1 mana, worst case, it gets you 5 cards closer and puts a land in your hand for 1 mana.
it is also green, which leads you to a bunch of good artifact removal, and nature's spiral to protect your liquimetal coatings and to get back creatures that destroy artifacts.

deck plan,
4 liquimetal coatins
4 ancient stirrings
an amount of veridian revels
2 natures spiral
24 lands of your choice

26 of your favorite cards that destroy artifacts like
two for ones manic vandal, oxidda scrapmelter, relic crush, into the core, viridian corrupter
stepping out of standard ancient grudge, shattering spree

the important part to me is the ancient stirrings as tutors and natu... (see all)

T1: Swamp, ??? (Piece of equipment maybe? Trusty Machete?)
T2: Swamp, Liquimetal Coating
T3: Swamp, Target Swamp with Liquimetal Coating, Phylactery Lich targeting the now artifact land.
T4: Equip and swing. Congradulations! You are now the proud owner of a 7/6 Indescructable beater that won't die to anything like Shatter or Revoke Existence. Enjoy.

Hmm...
I'm pretty confident many friendships are lost with this and Splinter.

I am going to coat this entire mountain in metal. Then, I am going to have Barrage Ogre throw it at you.
I don't care about specifics, that should be a game-ender right there.

@jerkoid: Simplest way to break Horseshoe Crab and Grand Architect is with Mycosynth Lattice. Gets around the pesky need for it to be blue mana to untap. Then you don't even need the coating.

Another approach to get a similar effect (with fewer cards) is to enchant Vedalken Engineer with Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura, then turn the aura into an artifact. But there are even easier ways to turn one of those auras into infinite mana, such as with Bloom Tender.

@Chamale: Better than that, March of the Machines actually turns this into " Tap

: Destroy target land or target Aura."

@ugotpauld: Magnetic Mine will trigger if you destroy something that's temporarily an artifact. Triggers that look at objects on the battlefield care about the current properties of those objects, regardless of whether th... (see all)

Very reminiscent of the old artifacts with end of turn boosts instead of equip costs.

Combos with... a few hundred cards, probably. But is just an enabler! Now, I love combos as much as the next guy, but each piece of a good combo should do something useful on its own to deserve merit. This card just falls short. Great flavor, very cool effects, but that doesn't mean it's a good card.

The guy in the artwork kinda resembles Mr. Freeze.

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.

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
