For Mirrodin! is a keyword ability for equipment cards introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One.[1] It is the Mirran equivalent of Living weapon.[2]
Description
When a card with For Mirrodin! enters the battlefield, it creates a 2/2 red Rebel creature token and attaches itself to it.
The mechanic was designed to help give the surviving Mirrans representation as a draft archetype.[2] R&D liked the idea of mirroring a mechanic from Scars of Mirrodin block to show that the Mirrans have been surviving by co-opting some parts of New Phyrexia. One of the key notes from Scars of Mirrodin block was that all equipment with Living weapon had to provide a toughness boost to the equipped creature and that meant less space for other mechanical ideas. Using 2/2 Rebel tokens, rather than the 0/0 Germ tokens of Living weapon, allowed for more design freedom in the Equipment.
