Pointed Discussion

Hmm. Already less effective than the other Circles by virtue of artifacts being less common than any other colour - even around the time of Antiquities, there were few which really did substantial amounts of damage - they went and made it still worse by sticking an extra mana on the activation cost. Baffling.

The worst COP ever printed...2 to activate really does kill it...

to activate? I'd rather throw a Pariah on an Angelic Curator.

Are we forgetting Armageddon Clock? This definitely had it's advantages back then, and it still does against decks that are based around things like master of etherium Arcbound Crusher and the like. Not a bad card, but very situational. Worth a side deck if you often play against people who use arti-pump decks.

It is rendered completely moot by Rune of Protection: Artifacts. One of the few cases in which a card is strictly better.

At least the art would make for a bitchin' T-shirt.
