It's a decent sweeper, but you need to be in 3+ colours to realize its true potential. With that potential, it utterly hoses Exarch Twin, kills Vedalken Shackles, and more.
One rap against it is that it kills your own permanents, too. I hate losing my own Signets and stuff to it.
LP, I'm checking your article out as well. Behind all of your swag is the brain of one of the most intelligent Magic players I've ever known. I guess that's one more thing for you to add to the wall of ego that is your Sally sig.
I can go with that. LK, you are the Mace Windu of red mages...cool, tempered logic in deliberation, but capable of just flat kicking tail when the situation warrants it.
It's my favorite board sweeper of all time. I still remember the insane amount of argumentation i had in this Forum about it's usefulness.
One of the fastest board sweepers ever, and a powerful one too. It shines especially in two color decks
It's hard permanent removal that's tutorable off Trinket mage. What's not to like? It's a multi-format all star, and has proven itself in very powerful control decks.

This.
EE is the best sweeper in the format, IMO.

Tantarus: It didn't make the gaka greifer level, so it should be fine
Infest is better for creatures IMO, but this plays into Thalia much easier. You can also go recursive with it, with it being an artifact and all. The best part IMO is that it hits everything, not just creatures, that is what makes it even better.

It would actually cost the exact same since you need to pay 2 to activate Explosives.
