Wow. Aura destruction in red, and artifact destruction in blue. Brave.

On what is effectively a five-mana artifact. I don't believe this is the first time it's been done, but I could be wrong.

Nope, I was wrong. This'll be getting an edit once I'm logged in.

Yeah, they're annoyingly persistent in not letting you do that. I wonder how much it would have to cost to become allowed.

Taking something like Desert Twister as an example for stretching destruction out of colour; you can presumably be allowed to do it for 8.

Also, given the name I wonder if it mightn't be better as "return to owners hand", which is usually a cheaper effect, too.

It would be the first common with such an ability, as things like Sylvok Replica and the like are ostensibly colored.

Flavorwise, it might be more interesting at Uncommon as:

Recall Drone
3
Artifact Creature - Construct
Morph
Whenever Recall Drone or another permanent you control is turned face up, return target Equipment or Aura to its owner's hand.
2/2

Of course, you could just change the first design to destroy Equipment instead of Artifacts and I think it'd be much more defensible as a flavor-based color-pie fudging.

­Spine of Ish Sah says . And yes, destroying Equipment has been allowed on artifacts: Manriki-Gusari, IIRC.

Actually, Houlding's first design there was exactly what I'd come up with myself on the drive into the office this morning. Fits the name better too.
