Scarred is a webcomic about Koth who brings his fellow planeswalkers Venser, and Elspeth to witness the Phyrexian corruption of his homeworld. It was originally published in three parts in January 2011.

Part 1

Mirrodin
Koth of the Hammer has brought his fellow planeswalkers Venser and Elspeth to his home plane and apologizes for forcing their hand. He describes Mirrodin as a masterpiece of art, crafted by an unknown hand, shimmering under the light of five suns of pure mana. While Venser is still angry about his abduction, Elspeth is willing to listen to Koth. Remembering the Phyrexians from her homeplane, she is more than prepared to attack the vile creatures. Koth explains how his world is in turmoil, elves fighting vedalken, goblins fighting loxodon, and leonin fighting each other, while the true enemy is lurking in the shadows. He wants to introduce his companions to a friend who has seen what Koth has seen himself.

In answer to a question of Koth, Venser tells him that he has visited Mirrodin before in the company of Karn. Venser starts to explain who Karn is and how he is connected to Mirrodin, when the trio unexpectedly come upon a desecrated landscape caused by a growing Mephidross. To no avail, Koth calls for his friend Malach. The noise stirs up the Nim, soulless creatures of the Dross, that attack the planeswalkers. Venser teleports some of them into the air, Elspeth uses her sword and Koth crunches an especially large one between two rocks.

Koth notices that the Nim never have spread so far before, and attributes this to the growing influence of the Phyrexians. Venser is now convinced that action has to be taken. However, a shocked Elspeth is covered in ichor and has second thoughts. She announces that she won't join the fight.
