About March of the Machines

March of the Machines, Enchantment, designed by Ben Thompson first released in Oct, 2003 in the set Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 6.33. It's a key card in 23 combos.

A deck that focuses on noncreature artifacts, such as artifact ramp or artifact synergy decks, would benefit from using March of the Machines as it can turn all noncreature artifacts into artifact creatures, potentially increasing the deck's offensive capabilities. However, there are better cards like Karn, the Great Creator or Karn, Scion of Urza that offer more versatile and powerful effects for artifact-based decks, making March of the Machines less likely to see play in competitive settings.

Rules

10/01/09

A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the “summoning sickness” rule: It can only attack, and its abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn.

12/01/04

Each artifact land has a converted mana cost of 0. March of the Machines makes them 0/0 creatures, which are put into the graveyard as a state-based action.

12/01/04

If a noncreature artifact is also another card type, such as enchantment or land, it will retain those types in addition to being an artifact creature.
