I don't normally agree with the masses, but this is a horrible card. It would be only marginally better if it just became unattached. Back to hand is just too much effort. To paraphrase a common turn of phrase, strictly worse than Mortarpod.

As of this posting, this is the single lowest rated card on Gatherer. In fact, at .781 stars, it's the ONLY card to have less than an eighth of a star, beating out such rivals as Break Open, Mindless Null, and Ember Shot.
Impressive performance, Razor Boomerang- and that's the first time anyone's ever said those words.

Not as bad as people seem to think. Okay, it sucks harder than a black hole, but it at least does SOMETHING. Even if that "something" is "waste 5 mana on a poke" it's still better than cards like Pale Moon which do NOTHING.

This has to be some of the coolest flavor ive ever seen on a magic card.
for that it gets a 2
And then i Deduct 1.5 for being god awful. I cannot think of anytime when I would want to use this in the present day standard...or extended...hell for vintage and legacy even.
But why? WHY WHY WHY!?!?!? The art is sooo good...the Mechanic is soooo good...but that mana cost/low attack...*facepalm*
I think Bonesaw was more useful...bot belong on a chimney imp, cuz at least they come into play untapped and without summonin sickness!

Why is this rating so low I mean come on. Yes it does one damage and you obviously have to pay a lot of mana for that one damage, but this card is so blatantly designed for use around cards that get benefits every time you play an artifact Golem's Heart for example (yes I know this wasn't around at the time).

WotC really needs to print another unspeakably bad card like this, except that it's a creature and its subtype is troll. Then, we'll know that WotC is trolling us!
