Item Description

Most artifact removal simply erases the problem. Artifact Mutation turns it into an army. For one red and one green mana at instant speed, it destroys target artifact, stops it from regenerating, and then gives you 1/1 green Saproling tokens equal to that artifact's mana value. Blow up a six-mana relic and you walk away with six bodies.

That scaling makes it far more interesting than a plain Shatter effect, especially in Commander, where expensive artifacts are everywhere. Saproling and token decks love the extra fodder, sacrifice strategies get something to feed, and Gruul decks get a removal spell that builds a board at the same time. It can even target one of your own artifacts once it has done its job, cashing it in for a pile of creatures. A card dating back to Visions, it has aged into a flexible pick for red-green lists.

This is the Secret Lair Drop printing, collector number 269, a showcase borderless treatment illustrated by Dominik Mayer, in non-foil. The borderless frame lets Mayer's artwork run to the card's edges, giving an old-school instant a thoroughly modern look.
