Useful.

This card is vanilla, pure and simple. Useful if you have a method of untapping artifacts, but even then there are probably better mana vehicles out there.

Grixis cards have the best artwork, not a bad mana artifact either. Very useful and looks awesome.

Because Darksteel Ingot wasn't broken, but you couldn't have printed it in this block.
Still think these should have gotten something a little extra.

Grixis is my imagination of hell.

Each shard in Alara only knew of the 3 colors of mana on that shard. I think that is why WOTC went with 5 obelisks over the Darksteel Ingot. Also, since darksteel was from Mirroden, that was probablly another reason it was not included in this block.

I would have thought that this would be considered the most useful of the cycle. Virtually costs 2 to play, shares 2 colors with Esper and has the best potential for a control deck. Good common mana ramp.
