,Sarifice Aeolipile: Do 2 damage to target creature.
Aeolipile
Well, it's a spellbomb. and the set does have a lot of toughness 2 in it.
Colour pie breaking; but, well, Rod of Ruin pops up occasionally.
This is probably fine - the only thing wrong is it shouldn't be rare. If this is supposed to be "Ah crap, I need answers" for limited, it should be much more common. Maybe even pushed to common - which is.. quite a statement.
But I was saying that the set lacked creature removal; maybe this should just become it.
Remove "Or player", which is just cheesy. And add cantrip slow/cycle instead; more obviously a spellbomb now.
Artifact removal isn't really pie-breaking. There's been a steady trickle of it in recent years: Moonglove Extract, Blazing Torch, Flamecast Wheel, as well as Viridian Longbow, Hankyu and Heavy Arbalest. Several of those are commons too (Blazing Torch was common in Innistrad), so moving this to common is absolutely the right choice.
Moonglove Extract also indicates that the price for artifact creature-damage is still 3 mana, impressively: Aeolipile was right on target. (Blazing Torch confirms this too, if you count tapping a creature as somewhat equivalent to 1 mana.)
So I don't think this really needs the cantrip option. (But at the same time there's no problem with it.)
