Ah, this makes me recall how nutty Mirrodin Limited was. Loxodon Warhammer was an uncommon, and those things were EVERYWHERE.

As somehow mentioned before, this card has some serious potential.
I love using it most with cards that offset this spell's inherent card disadvantage.
Using a Chromatic Star for the blast lets you draw another card.
Trinket Mage can get you this one - or a 0-mana artifact if you don't want to spend any mana.
Stoneforge Mythic can also fetch 0-mana equipment.

This has nice synergy with Mycosynth Wellspring.

Give this card a break. It's a lot worse than Fireblast. At least with this card you generally can guess how many are coming. With Fireblast you could start the game on 8 life and not even know it.

A very powerful card, allowing red instant-speed 5 damage burn for 2 mana. Kind of a Goblin Grenade for artifacts, in a block that featured artifact lands. A great example for set designers about how to make a powerful card with a significant but not insurmountable drawback, as evidenced by its presence in many decks.

From a designer's standpoint, this is one of the worst cards ever printed. Five damage to the dome in a set that rendered its drawback null and void...for two mana. At instant speed. As if that isn't bad enough, it was released in the same set as isochron scepter.

You'd think Wizards would have learned their lesson after this extreme cheese was printed, but then they went and released arcbound ravager in the very next set.

This card broke the game and had cardfloppers everywhere looking for new hobbies. I didn't start playing magic again until Ravnica.
