If the Reserved List was a mistake, the mistake wasn't that it was created
It all comes together to create a depiction of dark magic that feels as twisted and forbidden as it should, in sharp contrast to the often-sanitised versions we see today
Since it isn't, your rival will have the opportunity to use the artifact concurrent to its destruction
The tap effect is certainly useful across the board but in most cases it is about the most minor tempo swing on a card
As a targeted removal piece, this is fine, but I wouldnt expect to see it in every deck with red in it, but if I see a single artifact token hit the field, this card is easily slotted into the same deck
Often you really need to kill a non creature (non land) permanent more than the dorks in play but it is really rare to hit more than one of those targets
