Incredible card. Especially in decks which generate tokens.

Better than Naturalize? As long as you have creatures to play, yes! (P.S. since it's Selesnya-colored, that won't be a problem.)

I'm thinking creatures with persist. Also, this card only applies to you (as in, some cards say "each player"), so your opponent doesn't have the opportunity to destroy your artifacts and enchantments.

Agreed, I think it's better than naturalize.
This card is suitable for decks that consists of many creatures!
Sits in the sideboard of my 5-color deck as a Glittering Wish target, and it is of course my #1 option against any deck that relies on some central artifact or enchantment, like Pyromancer Ascension or Isochron Scepter. Not only does it allow me to take out offending cards already on the field, but it provides insurance against any future copies that my opponent might manage to fish up.
I also like how well it does against decks that look to safeguard their combo pieces with counters. If I can get the Aura Shards to stick, my opponent is then forced to counter every single creature I play, even usually innocuous 1/1s, a losing battle if I ever saw one.
And heaven help my opponent if they play artifact lands.

My friend needs this card. Two of his decks rely too heavily on Quiet Disrepair, which are too slow against many artifacts and enchantments. When I run an equipment-heavy deck, Aura Shards really beats any one-shot like Naturalize.

Add equal parts Liquimetal Coating and Aura Shards to the battlefield to create your very own Vindicate machine.

This card is stupid good. STUPID. GOOD.
Stupidly good. If you ever play against it, rage quit immediately.
Liquimetal Coating means your lands die.
Any creature making deck means all your artifacts and enchantments are dead. All of them.
You'd have to run a pure creature deck, and HOPE they don't have many Liquimetals.
If they play a Mycosynth Lattice, it's pretty much GG. Don't even waste your time, you will lose!

They should ban this card in EDH, it just makes the game less fun imo. I agree, it is stupid good. I played my equipment deck against a friend, he dropped this turn 4... let's just say I lost that game.

One of the better uncommons to come out of any set.
Make it harder to get rid of with Sterling Grove. Solid in multiplayer for card draw with Viridian Revel, especially with all the Mirrodin/Phyrexia stuff.

Liquimetal Coating (or Myosynth Lattice) + Norin the Wary + Viridian Revel;
or:
Soul Sculptor!!!!
