Who is Karn?

First appeared: Magic: The Gathering, Weatherlight (1997)

Karn is a silver golem built by Urza to travel through time, and later one of the first artificial planeswalkers. He was part of the Weatherlight's crew, and he built the metal plane of Mirrodin, which Phyrexia later took over.

His colorless cards, like Karn Liberated and Karn, the Great Creator, are staples.
