This must be the worst card in MTG.
Here is why:
You have to pay 4 colorless to put this artifact into play, keep in mind that this is the same price as for example Icy Manipulator.
Then, you have to pay 2 colorless to give 1 damage.....ONE damage....to a player or creature. Now you've used 6 mana to give 1 damage, and at the end of the turn, the artifact is sacrificed! You can activate the ability as many times as you want, but you have to use 2 more mana to give 1 more damage, wich is a mana cost that's so hilariously high compared to the damage it deals, that it's not worth it. And you have to wait a round for it, cause the artifact has summoning sickness for some strange reason!
Now compare this to Shock.
Rocket Launcher costs 4 colorless, you have to wait 'till next turn, and then you have to use 4 new colorless to give 2 damage.
Shock costs one mountain, it's instant, and deals 2 damage.
Ok, so you need a mountain, but there are lot's of artifacts that give spesific mana when it's tapped, so it's a bigger chance you'll be able to play Shock before being able to use this lousy artifact.
+ It's a bad drawing of one of the turtles shooting a rocket launcher. >_> -- By K-man from Norway on November 28, 2007 |
