I love this artwork :D Does anybody know why there are several Einstein references in Legends? His formula is shown on a card as well. Both of them are drawn by artists surnamed Foglio.

Who needs magical enchantments when you could just use SCIENCE!

Kind of bizarre to have Albert Einstein on a Magic: the Gathering card, but I guess if he did anything, it would probably be keeping enchantments from materializing.

Not only does this card have great artwork, this card actually has some use, especially in Legends, which has some serious enchantments which warped gameplay from Moat to The Abyss.

I'd wish Einstein had appeared on an artifact card in the past. Good artwork though.

This card is seriously under-rated at 3.5... it is a huge control deck addition, particularly since white has such strong enchantments to begin with.
4.5/5

Einstein is ANGRY. If he looked at me like that, I wouldn't cross him either.

While I may not yet be scienceing, you should probably step back, because I'm certainly going to try.

I can totally imagine Eistein making enchantment vanish by beating them to death with science.

@Gaussgoat: 4.5? cheapskate. this card is under-rated at FIVE out of five. ITS ALBERT. FRIGGIN. EINSTEIN.
it should also have an extra line: Steven Hawking can't be played.
name: Steven Hawking
mana: Q
type: Legendary Artifact Creature
When Steven Hawking enters the battlefield, Steven Hawking also doesn't enter the battlefield.
T: Target generation loses their grip on reality. Exile all cards in all zones.

This card simply cannot be less than 5/5 (more and you are breaking the rules of science)

You've got to love Phil Foglio. "Presence of the Master... I'm going to draw Einstein!" That guy's art in general is so awesome and funny, it's a big shame they stopped having his artwork after Tempest, but at least he's back in Unhinged (as Claymore J. Flapdoodle).

Fantastic art and a relatively good effect. 5/5

@twiddleman12: Unfortunately, even the awesomeness that was Einstein doesn't make Enchanted Evening work with this card. Enchanted Evening only affects permanents - they don't become enchantments until they hit the battlefield, and it's way too late to counter them.
This card really needs to be reprinted. It neuters O-ring, Detention Sphere, Pacifism, Spectral Flight, every enchantment in standard becomes garbage in your hands. All of a sudden people need to run Naturalize just to get rid of the Master.

Enchanted Evening
Also, @twiddleman12: That combo doesn't work because the cards won't be enchantments until after they have already played them.
