Well it would've been too freaking bad if they gave us Shatter again after finally giving us a taste of instant-speed 1 cmc red artifact removal.

Yo Smelt, I'mma let you finish but It's a pity core-sets are so limited on expert mechanics. I suppose it adds some elegance but Shattering Spree is so good.

It's alright. But in Commander I'd use in mono red something like shattering pulse or smash, whereas in quicker formats, this is simply too narrow.

As of my time of typing this, Smelt from M13 has a 4.1 rating while this card has a 3.7 rating. People rejoice when a long dissevered card is printed like Walking Corpse and then rate it down the next time its reprinted and say it is awful.

Not sure why the flavor text isn't "He who smelt it.."

Some master of Mirrodin, Koth. Can't even tell normal steel from Darksteel.
I'm not sure why they changed the flavour text from "Looks like it wasn't darksteel after all" to "Looks like that wasn't darksteel after all." Is this significant?

I agree with Ferlord. Sarcastic or not, for Koth to say that makes him sound kind of stupid. Either he really doesn't know the instant he sees it, or nobody believes him when he says that he does. This card makes me sad.

the art implies it should deal some damage to the creature it is equip to

Actually, Ferlord and RustyKeyes, I think he's proving whoever the guy in the picture is wrong. Think about it: Someone you know is talking about how great their new headphones are, then you prove them wrong. Wouldn't you say something along the lines of "Looks like they weren't brand-name after all"?

An excellent side board card against monoblack and midrange decks which use the God weapons as a big part of their strategy.

@Ferlord - I always took this flavor text as more of a sarcastic retort, after melting said artifact.
That being said, It's a pretty good card, having any targeted artifact removal for {R} seems kinda broken, but, that's only from years of Shatter.
Finally seeing this card actually makes me feel better, Naturalize compared to Shatter just isn't fair.
