Worst card in Antiquities. And this was the set containing Mishra's War Machine. I have always had an unnatural loathing for this card, unmatched right up until they printed Blood Funnel.

I mean seriously, SIX mana? SIX FRIGGING MANA? And for that I can't even return something stolen by my opponent? GAH!

It's not that bad - you can trigger a bunch of comes into play and leaves play effects with this and do it with ease.

It's no Rakalite, but it's really bad nonetheless. At least you can drop it early.

Hey, at least you can return it to your hand for 6 mana and save yourself any further embarrassment for playing it...

To anyone trying to justify this jank- there is no reason why it costs six mana to use. Just because you can pay it doesn't mean you should. MarlinFlake, you had best be trolling. I can surround any turd with three good cards and get a better effect than lifegain and card draw. Hell, with Pridemates, Wardens, and six mana, I'd better be popping off some kind of infinite ETB combo.

Great art.
Ridiculously great art.
Essentially top down design as well...which just makes it even better.

Total trash, even for its time.

Had Antiquities been full of critters with "comes into play" effects, I could have forgiven them since they would have had no clue how to properly price something that could reuse those effects. But no, this thing was just a silly way to bounce your own stuff and waste mana for no reason.

@ stygimoloch - Calm down. It's going to be OK.

Put the gun down. It's going to be alright.

Imagine getting this in your opening hand, playing it, and then staring at it for a bunch of turns before ever getting to use it. I say imagine because no one's ever actually played this thing.

Don't you hate it when a perfectly good piece of Tom Wanerstrand art goes to waste?
