At 1 CC this thing is a bargain for control decks.

I love that this was printed before the phrase "blue-white control" became a stock phrase in every Magic player's vocabulary. Blue and white meet perfectly with this card.

White has ways to make hordes of soldiers and, more importantly, vigilance. One of these with Captain of the Watch or Mobilization (or Serra's Blessing if you have some problem with Soldiers) will make your opponent curse himself for not running more artifact removal and putting so much stock in the hugeness of his creatures. With Meekstone out, good old Serra Angel quickly puts Baneslayer to shame and dominates the board. As good as lifelink is, it can't always substitute for vigilance.

Blue is good for lending support in the form of Trinket Mage and other artifact-search cards, as well as providing ways to counter the artifact removal that could end the one-sided lockdown and turn the tide of the game... (see all)

This would be fun to run with a deck with a lot of firebreathing. Perhaps this could combo well with Thunderstaffs.

Well that'll learn all those decks for not putting any artifact-destruction in won't it! :P. I love this card, it's in my slightly-slow-to-get-moving Memnarch Control decks sideboard.

Wow. This looks horrifically effective for just 1. And it can be easily used by weenie and control decks alike.

Today we have Blind Obedience which costs half the cmc of Kismet.
Extort instead of also tapping lands seems fair to me.
