Apologies to anyone on a slow connection but it was the best image I could find.

I personally want 4 of these because I'm a huge Burn fan and let's not forget the awesome art. I just wish I had an FNM I could go to so I could win them. Oh well, there's always trading or online retailers.

Thoughts?

I love the art. Haven't seen a good "holy crap, I'm exploding!" art in a while.

Though I think my "Blinkmoth Nexus price just went up" sense is going off.

[Mage Master]

As if Blinkmoth Nexus wasn't expensive enough for budget players like me as it is. :rolleyes:

[Eternity]

Both of us, yo. But playing this beautiful, yet badass Shrapnel Blast makes it totally worth it.

[Mage Master]

I'm finding it incredibly hard to argue with that point. It is some of the best art I've seen on a Magic card in a while.

I run mono red burn now and its fun, I run no creatures enchantments or artifacts and with this I think I'd play some artifacts as well, the reason I don't is not running them means they have to side out their creature/artifact/enchantment removal after the first round (when I could side in creatures lol) but this would give a good responce to removal or a quick 5 for the win. I was running Spiteful Visions but with this Howling Mine might be a better choice (I was thinking of running Howling Mine and Icy Manipulator to deny my opponent the card but I dunno)

Running a set of Great Furnace is a pretty good idea too so you can get a couple of extra targets for Shrapnel without having to commit to running a lot of Artifacts that you wouldn't have run otherwise.

Looks good. If I didn't work Friday nights I'd definitely get 4..

I can get a few for you. After I get a set for myself, that is. ;)

For all the [/former] Yugioh players, is it just me or does the art look like a Jinzo exploding? I find that particularly awesome.

I did not even notice that until you said something. It does look like Jinzo exploding lol

[Mage Master]

Yeah, it definitely looks like Jinzo is exploding in the card art.

When amplifier goes wrong.
