I disagree with the idea from MaRo that this card was a mistake. Artifacts always are the first to break new ground in Magic, because establishing new concepts for the game is easier when any color deck can use the concept. Also, artifacts don't have a place on the color pie, so making artifacts have weird abilities makes sense when debuting the ability.
Take Mindslaver. Sorin Markov has that ability as his ultimate, which seems to indicate that "control turn" effects are black. Put yourself in the shoes of design, however. Blue is ALL about control, and cards that control creatures or permanents always show up in blue. Why make mind control of players a different color than mind control of creatures? Black is just nastier than blue, that's why. Blue plays nice and takes away the tools you want to use. Black takes away the ability to decide how you want those tools to be used in the first place. It's an opressive, cruel, dominating ability.
... (see all)

No. No, no no.
A card that turns naturalize into vindicate and revoke existance into a 100$ removal card unseen to this date (remove target permanent from the game, at 2cmc)?
A card that turns Manic Vandals into Angel of Despair?
...
*HOW* exactly do you turn an enchantment into an artifact?
I rate this card a 10/5 for power, but -8 for lack of flavor and asshattery:
2/5 total total.
Edit:
But when will we see artifact enchantments?
Obviously, they can exist, so... where are they?
Not to mention artifact planeswalkers.
Perhaps it's a planeswalker on the card, desperately clinging on to his life after being coated in liquid death, awaiting to be utterly annihilated by a cantrip?

@Mode: only Splinter becomes an awesome basic-land hoser: Echoing Ruin only destroys artifacts that share a name with target artifact, so it is an awesome hoser.. of one land (or up to four if you're running four of this bad boy)

With all the artifact elimination in Standard, this thing is almost too good for being an uncommon. Oh, is that you Jace? Let's see, do I just hit this and Naturalize or Shatter? How about a trip to the x-zone with Into The Core? Yeah, that sounds good too. Or I could just feed you to my Hoard-Smelter Dragon instead. Anyway, nice knowing you, sculptor of minds. Your $70 planeswalker fell to a 70-cent combo. Power to the people.

Hmmm....
I may have finally found a card to replace the soon-to-be-gone Pithing Needle. Good-bye Planewalkers. Good-bye other annoying permanents. Now I just need to find room in my sideboard for this new great card.
5.0/5

EVIL CARD. When it works, you want to punch your opponents. But most of the time the deck just falls apart.
