Draft Scars of Mirrodin on CubeForge
Draft Scars of Mirrodin's artifact-heavy Limited format featuring Infect, Metalcraft, Proliferate, and synergistic deckbuilding.
Draft Scars of Mirrodin
Scars of Mirrodin (SOM) is the first set in the Scars of Mirrodin block, released in 2010. The format revolves around a massive artifact presence, with Metalcraft, Infect, and Proliferate serving as its defining mechanics. One of the format's most important tensions is the divide between Infect and non-Infect decks, as poison-based strategies generally require dedicated support and do not mix well with conventional damage plans. Metalcraft decks seek to maximize artifact counts for powerful payoffs, while blue-based decks often leverage Proliferate and artifact synergies for long-game value. Creature combat is heavily shaped by equipment, artifact creatures, and combat tricks, making board management especially important. The format rewards drafting discipline, as synergy-driven decks are substantially stronger when their key themes are properly supported.
