Liquimetal Coating

Description

Liquimetal Coating is an artifact card released as part of the Commander 2014 product line in 2014. Identified by card number 246 within the C14 set code, this uncommon card provides a specific mechanical effect for players engaging with the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card features a mana cost of {2} and possesses a mana value of 2, placing it early in the resource curve for strategic deployment. The primary function of Liquimetal Coating allows a player to target a permanent and cause it to become an artifact in addition to its other types until the end of the turn. This effect enables temporary type manipulation, allowing for interactions that rely on artifact synergies or specific rules interactions dependent on the artifact type. The card’s text is accompanied by flavor text referencing Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, which adds narrative context to the card's thematic presence within the game's universe. As a staple in the Commander 2014 edition, Liquimetal Coating is frequently referenced by players building decks that require flexible artifact interactions. Its ability to alter the type of existing permanents makes it a useful inclusion for strategies that benefit from temporary artifact status. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering cards often include this card number in their holdings to complete the Commander 2014 checklist or to utilize its gameplay utility in casual singleton formats. The card’s design and function remain consistent across all printings of the set, ensuring that any copy obtained matches the canonical rules text and mana values provided in the official catalog data.
