A small Magic puzzle

Hello, All!
Here is a small puzzle for Magic community:

Using only Mirrodin block cards, create a permanent with no permanent
type (i.e. not a land, artifact, enchantment or creature).

Inspired by a more complicated puzzle in the Russian M:tG newsgroup.

Regards,
Arkady.

Well, that's fairly easy, 'cause it was in the Darksteel FAQ:

,----[ http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/faq/darksteel ]
| Neurok Transmuter's second ability interacts strangely with March of
| the Machines from the Mirrodin set. If an artifact is an artifact
| creature only because March of the Machines is in play and you then
| play Neurok Transmuter's second ability on that artifact creature,
| the result is a permanent with no types whatsoever. (Neurok
| Transmuter's ability removes the type "artifact." March of the
| Machines depends on knowing what is and isn't an artifact. The
| permanent won't be an artifact when March of the Machine's effect is
| applied and therefore it won't be turned into a creature.)
