Grafted Exoskeleton

Description

The Grafted Exoskeleton, card number 162 from the 2010 Scars of Mirrodin set, stands as a notable Uncommon Artifact Equipment within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Allen Williams, this card features a mana cost of four and provides strategic depth through its distinctive infect ability. When equipped to a creature, it grants +2/+2 power and toughness while allowing the creature to deal damage in the form of -1/-1 counters to other creatures and poison counters to players. A significant drawback defines its gameplay: whenever the equipment becomes unattached from a permanent, the controller must sacrifice that permanent. This mechanic creates high-stakes decisions for players integrating it into their decks. Collectors value this piece for its intricate design and the complex rules interactions it introduces to the game. As a key component of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion, the Grafted Exoskeleton remains a sought-after item for those building complete sets or exploring the era's innovative card designs.
