After seeing the flavor text on Darksteel Ingot I promised myself I wouldn't cry... wizards y u do dis?

It's a great card regardless, enchant a crappy token for a great block or enchant your opponents commander. What a great, seemingly humble enchantment

Not quite a Pacifism variant, bit still really good at getting rid of annoying commanders and oozing with flavor. The flavor text is genius.

I love how there's a day one errata on such an unassuming little Uncommon.

Also, for 1W you get a 3 mana creature - Darksteel Myr. Assuming you have a creature to spare, or if you want them to have one.

IRONICALLY, many people use the word "Ironically" when they really mean "Fittingly" XP


Now THAT'S irony. ^

great way to neutralize commanders without angering the other player too much

Great concept! Turn a creature into a humble Darksteel bug.

(The name suggests an effect that's much more intimidating, though.
The creature undergoes a transformation that turns its body into the sturdy steel in the multiverse, after all.)

This could be considered a cheaper Sandskin/Heart of Light. For two mana, it's quite decent.
Less comboable with your creatures due to the ability-ripping ability, but that makes it an excellent target for your opponent's creature to strip it of all its power(s) and turn it into nothing more than a permanent chump blocker.

"Love the flavor text. Ironically, it describes whatever creature that's enchanted with it perfectly." -- Cynderias

Agreed, but I don't see what's ironic about that. Unless you consider the contrasting word combination in the flavortext itself ironic, but that's not the actual meaning of the word either :P
