A great card in an artifact deck. Pretty much useless otherwise obviously but the more artifacts you can get out, the better. One of my favorite blue flyers and it features great artwork.

Hmmm, let's see, an 8/8+ flyer for two mana? Well, I guess that's a good deal...

"Of course, if you're going heavy artifacts, what's to stop you from running both?"

Deck space. Honestly, how many absurdly-large creatures are required to win the game? A playset of MoE is the absolute most you'll need.

It's pretty clear that Master of Etherium is the better candidate, unless you forgot that competitive players gave up on Broodstar Affinity shortly after the release of Darksteel.

@boday1 Clearly you haven't used the Metallic Dreams deck that comes with one of these in it. The deck is packed with artifacts with 2 CMC, most with the ability to be tapped for mana. Plus the fact that there are artifact lands as well which assist in getting this card out as early as possible. I dare say this is a lot better than Master of Etherium in the right situation, with the only downside of not boosting other artifact creatures. But Master of Etherium is in the deck to fill that role out nicely.

A set of these is $7 cheaper than a set of Masters. Does that swing the odds in Broodstar's favor?

I love inverse efficiency spells. The less you pay, the better the spell. For a more recent example, look at Blasphemous Act. I'll use the same argument here, you will NEVER, EVER pay that full cost on this guy. It will always be 9 or less.


Still, it's funny to realize this is a 8BlueBlue 0/0 creature that does nothing outside of artifact decks, not that anyone would ever play it like that.

@Boday1 - with 5 artifacts this is a 5/5 flyer for 5 CMC. That's not 'remotely good'?

It was the first affinity bomb, but not as good anymore. What really kills it is the double U on it's casting cost.

If you were around for Mirrodin, you know you hated this card.

I didn't.

I had one!
