Will any Mirrans survive, or will this infection spread to planes beyond? Once known as Mirrodin, the metallic plane has since been transformed by the vile Phyrexian corruption. Its natives fought and lost the war for their world, and now struggle to survive each day. A mechanical savant, Venser relies on artifact making and teleportation to guide his travels, satisfying his insatiable intellect along the way. White knight of community and fortification, Elspeth left her embattled homeland in search of a new place to call home.
This fierce tribal leader uses red mana to shape earth and rock into weapons. His ultimate goal: peace for his people, and liberation for his plane from the Phyrexians. Biography The Planeswalker Urza created Karn as a war weapon. Karn, Scion of Urza. How Planeswalker Cards Work.
Karn, Silver Golem. Karn's Touch. Agonizing Memories. Argent Mutation. Energy Flux. Fit of Rage. Much to his surprise, he found he was no longer the only intelligence running the ship. To his joy, and despite the dire circumstances, Karn had finally found someone who could understand him completely. Alas, it was not to be, as Yawgmoth manifested upon Dominaria and the ship gave its life to try and slay Yawgmoth.
Finally, as all hope of victory seemed lost, Karn united with Urza and Gerrard. When Gerrard placed Urza's powerstone eyes, the Mightstone and Weakstone , into Karn, the Legacy released a wave of white mana , destroying the Phyrexians and slaying Yawgmoth.
While the two humans were killed, the powerstones turned Karn into the first artificial planeswalker. Karn later created Argentum , a plane of mathematical perfection. He sent probes to monitor Dominaria, but one of them was flawed and became the Mirari. Looking out upon the worlds, he found nothing but greed and death, blind as he was to the beauty of the worlds he found. Once again, Karn fell into depression and stagnated upon his plane. He was jarred from this malaise by the arrival of Karona upon Argentum, and he introduced himself as Lord Macht.
After Karona was defeated, Karn took her and the Mirari to Argentum and turned the orb into the golem Memnarch , and left to wander the multiverse with Jeska. Unfortunately, the glistening oil in his Phyrexian powerstone caused him to leave traces of it on the planes he visited, including Argentum. When Memnarch came into contact with it, he decided to turn Argentum into Mirrodin , a metallic plane with its own ecosystem designed to transform Memnarch into a planeswalker.
Some time before the Mending, Karn returned to Argentum, now turned to Mirrodin by an insane Memnarch. Much to his surprise, he found himself locked out of his own plane and barely able to pierce the veil Memnarch had unwittingly placed around it.
With his abilities limited, he sent dreams to the nascent planeswalker Glissa Sunseeker. Eventually, Memnarch fell and so did the veil he had made. Three hundred years after the events of the Phyrexian Invasion, and around one hundred years after Memnarch's creation, Karn returned to Dominaria at the request of Jhoira to aid her in sealing the time rifts tearing the multiverse apart. While attempting to close the rift over Tolaria, Karn traveled back in time to accomplish it during the Invasion itself.
When Barrin obliterated Tolaria, a corruption began to take hold of his mind. Sensing this, Karn proceeded to planeswalk throughout the Blind Eternities so he would not be followed across the multiverse - protecting any foolish enough to follow him from a monster of his own creation. Karn Liberated from his Phyrexian prison. The dark oil leaked from his heart, changing Karn's silver body as he sat upon his throne.
While the Phyrexian Praetors and their minions vied over him, each trying to use him to further their own causes, Karn had a moment of clarity. He sent out a mechanical guide to lead Venser and his party to the fully corrupted core of the plane once called Mirrodin.
After many hardships, they found the golem in bad shape at the center of the tainted world. The Sylvok outcast Melira told Venser and his party that the oil only turns a being into a full Phyrexian if its heart is fully corrupted. By the time Venser reached Karn in the core of Mirrodin it was already too late.
Melira cleansed the golem's body of the Phyrexian taint but she couldn't cleanse the golem's heart. Knowing his own life would soon be forfeit due to his increasing affliction symptoms, Venser made the ultimate sacrifice.
With his last remaining mana, he gave his life and spark to Karn. Father Karn was a metal golem created by Urza during the Phyrexian Wars. He was crafted of silver and powered by a Phyrexian heart stone. His purpose was to go back in time using the time machine Urza and Barrin built at the first Tolarian Academy to stop the Thran from ever becoming Phyrexian in the first place. However, after the machine exploded when Karn was sent back to stop Kerrick, Urza found other uses for him.
Much of Karn's early life was spent traveling with Urza and building many alliances for the coming invasion. After Phyrexian incursions on Dominaria using the artifical plane of Rath, Urza sent Karn away from Benalia where he had been staying to collect parts of the Legacy weapon.
When he left, he was given Gerrard Capshan to watch over and take care of after much of the Capshen bloodline was killed by Phyrexians. Later parts of his life were spent travelling with Sisay and her crew on the Weatherlight, where he partook of their adventures and proved to be a valuable asset. Gradually, Karn learned of his true purpose in Urza's designs: as the core of a very powerful artifact called the Legacy weapon.
This sacrifice by Urza led to Karn gaining the weakstone and the mightstone and becoming a Planeswalker. He was given the heartstone of the rogue Phyrexian sleeper agent Xantcha, once Urza's ally and companion. Centuries later, it was Karn who rescued the human component of Urza's Legacy from Phyrexian raiders: Gerrard, who would become captain of the Skyship Weatherlight.
Decades after, when Phyrexia invaded the plane of Dominaria, Karn fulfilled his destiny by taking his place within the Weatherlight hull, surrounded by the artifacts of the Legacy. The ship became a weapon, delivering a devastating blast of white mana that destroyed Phyrexia's "god," Yawgmoth, the Father of Machines.
At that moment, Karn became a planeswalker, inheriting the Planeswalker spark from his creator. Karn later created a plane of his own: a metal world he called Argentum. When he brought the Planeswalker Jeska to see his plane, he introduced a contagion from Dominaria to his world—a Phyrexian substance to which, as a Planeswalker, he was immune and unaware.
