This art is pretty cool, but I think i would have rather stayed with the old one

I really like the new artwork. Also, excellent card in any format.

I love that Wizards is bringing back a few of my favorite overlooked cards from Mirrodin.

I like the new art.

Aren't all explosives engineered to some degree?

I was playing a person in a Modern Masters draft where I was going Jund goblins and he was going Esper control (all to a degree; Understand how little you can control what your strategy is in limited)

In the first game, I storm'ed off 2 of my 3 Empty the Warrens each for 6 1/1's (totalling 12). I ended the game with a Tromp the Domains.

Suffice to say, I didn't win the match when he sideboarded in this and got it out turn 1 each time. Do note that he also pulled 3 Echoing Truth's...

Actually...is this a 'fixed' Pernicious Deed?

Step 1: Play Doubling Season
Step 2: Play this for WUBRG
Step 3: Crack to kill Progenitus
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit!

Oh Modern Masters...you're making so many Legacy staples affordable...thank you...

I don't think we needed new art, also because it seems more generic than the old one.
But I'll jump on the bandwagon and agree that it looks quite good.

Although I tend to look at the tip with the smoke as an odd wurm's mouth somehow.
It seems unlikely that this tip of the bomb stays perfectly intact and keeps seemingly perfect symmetry,
but maybe that's supposed to showcase the engineered aspect.

Are you kidding me? This card isn't overlooked in the slightest. Oo
In the very least, it is a moderately popular, but very well-known Sideboard card.
There is a reason this got reprinted in Modern Masters.

this card is made to kill the spawn of elspeth.. i also like the new art..

With the unbanning of Wild Nacatl and Bitterblossom in Modern, I suspect this gem will start to see more play. to destroy BW Token's side of the board. Sounds good. +1 mana of any color to wipe away Naya Zoo's presence. Sounds good too. Moving up from there you start blowing up Tarmogoyfs, Bitterblossoms, Merfolk Lords, etc., The trick, of course, is to not blow up your own side of the board in the process ;)

Awesome removal for legacy:
-Easy 2-for-1s when played well
-Kills True-Name and your Mother
-Token-wipes
-at instant speed.

On top of it's other benefits:
-Easily recurable
-Can easily dodge Counterbalance and Chalice of the Void while being set to blow them up.
-0 CMC for Dark Confidant and Tolaria West
-Not a creature/instant/sorcery, so it can't be eaten by Deathrite

You can play this for zero, can't you? Bye bye moxes

5/5 for the interesting use of the Sunburst and X mana cost.
