While I agree that I couldn't see this little thing actually being able to break Dartsteel, in the game itself, it can. Darksteel isn't immune to effects that make you sacrifice a card so you can sacrifice any Darksteel artifact to it... why you would want to is beyond me but you can.

I actually like this card alot. If you opponent disregards this card and lets it go thorough, use up your 4 open red mana and get rid of whatever unneeded artifacts you have, and boom! Thank you for playing, please come again.

I can just tell I am in for a long night trying to justify the flavour to myself >_<
Yes yes, its magic I know, but even magic has some limitations, even if those limitations are self-imposed... LOL long night indeed.

@Stray_Dog
Personally, I think people forge Darksteel/Ferrovores digest it by making it not Darksteel, forging it, then making it turn back. Of course, this is probably ridiculously difficult, and only work with reality pockets or something, but meh.

@ClockwordSwordfish; Seriously? You're rating a good card down just because you don't think it should be able to melt Darksteel? They don't even tell you how much time it takes; it could take a year of digestive fluid to break the thing up.
That being said, saccing two Perilous Myrs to this guy gets you 8 damage swingin' and 4 damage floatin' around. I'd say he's definitely a better idea than Gnathosaur or Oxidda Daredevil for a red sac deck.

I'm rating this as low as I can. Why? The flavour text. These things melt down darksteel? I DON"T THINK SO. Darksteel is well established as immutable, and unless this thing has a darksteel forge in its tummy (and I'd think it'd be bigger if it did), it shouldn't be able to do that. The creature itself isn't bad, though
