Between this and Shattering Spree, the Izzet seem to be complete experts at blowing up lots of artifacts. Speaking of which, this would be a fair replacement for it in a lot of decks.

That goblin makes me think of the trollface meme immediately. This is costed well even if Shattering Spree is better in a vacuum. this synergizes much better with cost reductions like on Goblin Electromancer and Arcane Melee.
A one-sided Creeping Corrosion?? Seems like an incredible value for EDH!

The overload for this spell is incredible against artifact decks. Pros like me will use the overload ability when our opponents have lots of artifacts.

This will probably see some Modern play.
5 mana is too slow to beat Affinity unless you've been on top of them for 4 turns, keeping them at bay, but if you can get this off... gg.

Shatterspree version 2.0: -More splashable -Gets through shroud -Hits all for 5 -Somewhat less flexible -Less trippy art
Overall, I approve. Very nice, good use of overload.
The overload cost isn't the only cool thing about this. It's a slowed down Smelt or a slightly more expensive/better Shatterstorm, both cards that don't see that much play on their own. But on the same card, this will probably see some sideboard play maybe in Modern and Standard, maybe even Legacy or Vintage due to the prominence of artifacts.

Artifact destruction is always a sideboard. If you have any reason to stick it in your deck, you have A LOT of use for it... making this card all kinds of good.

Now I have to sideboard counter spells into my standard artifact deck!
This and Stony Silence are the worst enemies of a standard format artifact deck right now.

I'm guessing that Mycosynth Latice will see alot more play in EDH due to this card. I think vandalblast is excellent in it's own right though.

Shattering Spree is usually better, because you can take out two artifacts for , or three for , or just one for . Thats a major card advantage, and normally thats all you need to get rid of.
Spree was too strong in my opinion, but this is a wonderful card and definitely fair.

The "you don't control" seems to be extra verbiage until you check out the Overload. Neat.
But for 4RR, they'd better have some stuff you really hate.

@Jannissary Or, if you run Mycosynth Lattice you can make them cringe in pain, as before playing Vandalblast for its overload cost everything becomes an artifact... after playing Vandalblast for its overload cost, anything w/o indestructible they control goes bye bye - lands, creatures, enchantments, other artifacts, etc - throw in running things like Blood Artist and Hissing Iguanar in formats where they're legal, and in EDH especially, this becomes especially painful for your opponents as now they lose all their indestructible permanents and take damage for the creatures that die from this destruction. :D

One of the better artifact sweepers; it even sees Vintage play!
