Pointed Discussion

Another example of the bizarre nature of Wizards' relative power level policy early on. Even if it removed the artifact from the game, it'd still not be as good as Swords to Plowshares. I guess that's what comes of each set being designed more or less independently. That said, Crumble is still a pretty good card.

Funny how StP is universally regarded as one of the best cards ever printed, while players have remained relatively indifferent to the Artifact spell that is equivalent, I guess Shatter has spoiled us...

Not bad. It's one of the few ways Green could destroy artifacts back in the day.

Nowadays if you would only use crumble to destroy opponent's artifacts Oxidize from mirrodin is a much better choice.

Nature's Claim is the latest card to obsolete this one.

Obsolete by today's standards, but back than this was green's only way to get rid of artifacts aside from Desert Twister. Still not terrible since it does bury the target.
