Permanently turn Treasures into bombs? Sure. Collapse your opponent's creature into something infinitely powerless? Go ahead. Turn another permanent into you about-to-die Commander? The only limit is your imagination (and possible targets on the board).
Or, say, a Stonecoil Serpent. It would become a 0/0 due to no counters on it so it'd die to my understanding. But I like the Darksteel Relic shenanigans

But that means you have to play Darksteel Relic, and who want to waste a card on that?
Much better Darksteel Ingot. You Path of Exile for good target commander but at least a mana rock is never a dead card in hand.
you could do it with Darksteel Citadel as well...
anyway, as commander is a 1of format, if you're planning to do this, you'll have to play all of them anyway.
Yeah, but... SIX MANA.
That’s quite a lot for a “wildcard” effect like this.
Four mana would have been amazing, 5 would be expected, but 6?
No thanks, even though this is one of my favorite kinds of cards.
There’s a reason I rarely run Spelljack or Æthersnatch, despite LOVING the cards.
^ This.
Commander is a turn 3ish format until they ban Thassa's Oracle. This thing is never, ever resolving to fun use while that's around.
The effect is super amusing though, so good on Wizards for doing this, at least.

Darksteel Mutation is an enchantment, not an artifact or creature. I guess you could target Darksteel Mutation with Liquimetal Coating to make it an artifact until end of turn, then target your oppenent's equipment and turn it into another Darksteel Mutation.

Not really. Depending of which colors you play, you got plenty of tutors, so 5-10+ tutors ( between land, artifact, generic tutors) are always 5-10+ virtual copies of the Darksteel Citadel you want in that moment.

Also, this is permanent!
you just claimed commander can't put this in and nearly anything can be used in commander
as A matter of fact you did remember mechanized production exist right? and the relic is a great target for it.
