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.

YES!

"Target permanent becomes a combo."

or

"Destroy target permanent."

Too bad I can only run four of this card.......

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)

I never made a deck with this card. It's almost as if there's something aesthetically wrong with this card. Being the Johnny-Spike I am, upon reading MaRo's comment about this being a bad design (should've been target creature instead of target permanent), I thought to myself well at least it has more applications this way. But turns out this card somehow displeases me, and the pile of artifact destruction never came close to forming a deck.

Turn your creature into artifact + Manic Vandal = a nice trick.
Turn your land into artifact + Manic Vandal + Manic Vandal/Naturalize turn after turn til you're mana screwed feel outright cheap.

Not that it's overly powerful (too dependent on a single card), but I gotta agree with MaRo that it feels all sorts of wrong.

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

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

This and an artifact removal spell (like revoke existance) will have your opponents singing "Baby come back"...lol

With Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, you can turn any permanent into a creature.

Imagine the possibilities.

Aren't I glad they screwed up like that and put "permanent" instead of "creature"?
