Origin of Metalbending (TLA)

Instant — Lesson

Choose one — • Destroy target artifact or enchantment. • Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. It gains indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)

Solid flexible removal for green decks across multiple formats. Origin of Metalbending offers genuine modal utility: the artifact/enchantment destruction mode handles problematic permanents that green normally struggles to answer, while the pump-and-indestructible mode provides combat protection or surprise evasion. The {1}{G} cost is efficient enough to slot into tempo and midrange shells in Pioneer and Modern, though it competes with more specialized answers like Reclamation Sage and Tyrranax Rex in dedicated slots. Best suited for decks that value flexibility and want a catchall answer that occasionally doubles as combat trick.
