Placeholder for discussion on red artifact destruction. There should be at least one spell, almost certainly at common. We have a couple of nice suggestions already, but I'm going to leave this provisional for a little to see (a) what artifacts we start to get and (b) if anyone has any other ideas.

• It would be possible to have several uncommon artifact destruction spells if we want variaty, though that's unusual
• It would be possible to have an extra white or green spell instead
• If we have very few artifacts after all, it may not be necessary
• It may be combined with another red common idea, eg. a creature-burn-and-artifact-destruction spell, or a land-and-artifact-destruction spell depending.

Oh, also, lots of the things that are usually in red or on theme in red need to be in mono red, but artifact/land destruction and stealing etc could also be in a red multicolored card instead.

I can't remember if I submitted a land destruction spell that destroyed the land and all fortifications attached to it. If I didn't, then I am now...

I think we do want an artifact destruction at common (especially because of all the fortifications), and most of the gold common slots are taken, so I think this is a good space for it. I think I'd like to see something simple (many of our commons are pretty complex) but not explicitly on-theme. To get the ball rolling, how about:

­ Inst / Sorc Destroy target artifact. ~ deals 1 damage to target creature.

Hmm... I'm no fan of straight Chinese menu, but I understand when it comes up. Destruction spells seem to field a lot of them.

How about "Destroy target artifact. If you destroyed an artifact you control in this manner, deal six damage to target creature."

My LD comment still seems relevant, but, if you want, you could always flip it to: "Destroy target artifact. If that artifact is attached to a land, destroy that land."
