This is much worse than vanilla Shatter. It would be interesting if it returned the artifact to play! (maybe at random, like search for survivors)

How is it worse then Shatter? It does something completely different. (recursion vs. vanilla destruction) Also allows you to somewhat use artifacts with graveyard triggers.

It's not strictly worse, but it costs a ton more and you eat card disadvantage at the same time.

But it is red artifact recursion and removal at the same time.

Dropped the cost by R.

Recursion, but not card-advantage recursion: it goes to top of library not to hand or play. Couple with card disadvantage makes it a pretty unappetising card.

(Card disadvantage recursion is doable, but needs something else to make it exciting, such as Trash for Treasure's bypassing of the mana cost.)

Maybe I'll just make it a new version of Trash for Treasure.

This card... it doesn't allow you to put the artifact you destroyed right back on the battlefield. I get the impression many players would get that wrong. Trash for Treasure is also confusing in that aspect... but I think the point of Trash for Treasure was obvious, where this card looks like it could be a combo trick, so players will try to use it like a combo trick.

If you think using your opponents artifacts to combo off enter the battlefield triggers on your own artifacts is cool, then I'd remove the last targeting restriction. If players are going to try to use it as a combo engine, I say let them do it.

Like that?

Yeah, that looks more fun.

ok then.

This is pretty feel bad if your opponent doesn't play any artifacts...

Sacrifice an artifact. If you do, destroy target artifact.

Return an artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

?

This card just feels like an overall bad idea dealing with artifacts....
