The question isn't why this card was created, but why it was reprinted.

Worst. Card. Ever.
@holgir: Runesword at least has a decently priced effect. +2/+0 and disintegrate-type effects on a creature isn't good, but at least it does something! Ooh, I just prevented 1 damage, maybe 2, and now I have to return Rakalite to my hand at end of turn!
Is it even possible to give this card a 0/5?

Hahaha, I forgot how terrible this card was. Shield of the ages does the EXACT same thing for 2 casting cost and does NOT return itself to your hand. Ugh. 0.5 / 5

@ holgir: Are you kidding? Runesword is Umezawa's Jitte compared to this!
Antiquities is one of my least favorite sets; this card proves it. Henceforth, when I comment on a card, I will keep Rakalite in mind, and think, "Well, it's better than Rakalite, at least."

That you have to pay for more than once
I'm in tears. Tears of absolute sadness that this exists. Why. WHY does this exist?

"Which jerk voted more than 0.5 for this piece of junk?"
I just gave it 5 stars, HA HA
