Oxidda Scrapmelter

Description

Oxidda Scrapmelter is a red beast creature from the 2010 Scars of Mirrodin expansion, identified by card number 101. As an uncommon rarity within the set, this foil variant appeals to collectors who appreciate the distinct shimmer and visual depth that foil treatments bring to Magic: The Gathering cards. The card was illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, whose work defines the aesthetic of this era in the game's history. In terms of gameplay identity, Oxidda Scrapmelter costs three generic mana and one red mana to cast, placing it at a mana value of four. Its primary effect triggers when the creature enters the battlefield, allowing the player to destroy a target artifact. This ability makes it a notable piece for players interested in artifact-heavy strategies, though its collector value largely stems from its set placement and finish. Collectors often seek out specific cards from the Scars of Mirrodin block to complete their sets or to build themed collections focused on the Mirrodin plane. The foil treatment adds a layer of desirability for those who collect by finish as well as by set. Whether you are a longtime fan of the game or new to the hobby, understanding the context of each card helps in building a meaningful collection. Oxidda Scrapmelter remains a recognizable part of the Scars of Mirrodin roster, representing the industrial and mechanical themes that defined the set's narrative.
