A very neat combo card, but practically useless in limited.

You could sign me up if you could choose any number of artifact cards, but like this it's pretty useless most oft the time...

Mycosynth Lattice + Shatterstorm + This

What are you supposed to do with this thing! It's worthless in an artifact deck (reasons are apparent) and even less useful if you have only a couple artifacts. It is a rare, I would be some what disappointed if I got this in a booster.

The best way I could describe the Mycosynth Lattice and Shatterstorm combo would be like so, and works best if you already have one Mycosynth in play and a large number of {0} or {1} drop mana producing artifacts:
1: Cast Mycosynth lattice from your hand.
2: In response to Mycosynth Lattice being put on the stack, pay {U} to cast Retract. Retract will resolve before your Mycosynth Lattice, which leaves the Lattice as the only permanent you control in play.
3: Drop whatever {0} cost artifacts you control into play that are essential for mana abilities (Mox Ruby, Mox Opal, etc)
4: Cast Shatterstorm.
5: Laugh.

Cool card. With all the zero-cost artifacts, one could easily use this card to get a nice Storm count going before milling your opponent with Brain Freeze.

Deserves a lot better than the 2.5 rating it currently has. Effectively counters Shatterstorm and the like. And speaking of storms...

I want this for an animar of souls deck.
Run a lot of 0,1, or 2 cost artifact creatures, drop then retract them, play them gain (for free now) and you've efficiently started a good ramp on animar. After this, all you need is good repeatable card draw (Maybe even forced fruition) and you could play out most of your deck in a single turn.

If you want a ridiculous combo to boardwipe them using mycosynth lattice, just use hurkyl's recall. Much simpler and actually works. Best part is, they play 1 land and 1 cmc of cards and then discard all but 7 cards (could be quite a bit).
