Bambambambambambambambambambambambambambambambambambambambam you dead. It makes me laugh at how little I knew about the power of this card back when I got the b/u precon. My money was always on the power and effective evasion of Nim Shrieker! Oh how Magic teaches.

The theme deck this came in sums it up very well.
"Basically, if artifacts are being smashed, the Disciple is one unhappy guy. When the Disciple is unhappy, your opponent is unhappy. And that should make you very happy."

You're forgetting an easy infinite damage AND infinite mana of any colour combo: Composite golem and Nim Deathmantle. I use this combo in my EDH deck, which isn't artefact-heavy, so people always ignore a lowly 1/1. Next turn, everyone's dead.

This is another one of those cards that shows how heavily a card's power can be defined by its environment. In any block without Affinity and Arcbound Ravager, he would have been a minor curiosity, maybe useful in a few odd artifact-focused decks, but nothing special.

Interesting, this seems to be one of the few cards that's banned in his own block, but not in wider formats.

I just realized he combos ridiculously well with Baubles. You quickly get through your deck and find them while burning through artifacts at a fast pace. Quite easy to deal 10 damage between them and a couple of baubles and other artifacts.
Also, tangle wire and smokestack could be a weird way to go.

morrow chomper, thropter assembly, and this can create some pretty big swings.
