Does Liquimetal Coating last into the graveyard?

Asked by FatherLiir 9 years ago

Kind of a confusing title but here's the situation.

Koth of the Hammer is at 1 Loyalty counter. I tap Liquimetal Coating to turn Koth into an artifact until end of turn. After this I cast Scrap Mastery and then copy it with Dualcaster Mage.

When Dualcaster Mage hits, what I believe should happen is the copied version of Scrap Mastery will trigger, sending the now artifact planeswalker Koth of the Hammer to the graveyard, the original Scrap Mastery now triggers, would this bring Koth of the Hammer back to the field because Liquimetal Coating still makes him an artifact or because Koth left the battlefield is he no longer an artifact?

It does not last. When a card changes zones it becomes a new object with no memory of its previous existence. Effects that were on that previous object no longer affect the new one. When your second Scrap Mastery resolves (not "trigger", which is something else) your Koth of the Hammer is no longer an artifact and will stay in the graveyard.
