Hammer of Purphoros 1RR

Legendary Enchantment Artifact

Creatures you control have haste2R Tap Sacrifice a land. Put a 3/3 colorless golem artifact creature onto the battlefield

Does anybody else feel like this artifact isn't as up to par with the other ones?

3CMC Enchantment/Artifact that gives all your creatures haste... and lets RDW turn surplus land draws into 3/3 haste creatures.

I think it's better than the "weak-sauce" options available to Green's Bow... though I'd usually take the card advantage of the Bident over this.

Red confirmed for artifact decks in this set, staying true to my prediction that there would be a Hephaestus-like god.

Does this mean we might see Koth at some point? Probably not. I think it could see use in aggro decks. This plus New Elspeth would make Naya tokens possible.

this card will be a 3 of in all RDW in my opinion. doin this in conjunction with akroan crusader and young pyromancer will be hell everywhere

also the golem is an (enchantment) artifact. making RW enchantments awesome. a 3/3 golem with Madcap Skills and Ethereal Armor makes it a 9/6 first strike needing 2 blockers. id call that amazing!!

This is Fervor with upside. In the event of a boardwipe, you can make a golem end of their turn, make a golem on your turn, and immediately swing for 6 (more if you have Mutavault ). It's certainly a good card, but needs the right home. I'm personally looking forward to using it with cards like Firemane Avenger or Kalonian Hydra .

10/7...

There are 4 Enchantments. The Golem, the Hammer, the Armor, and the Skills

Plus the 3/3, and the +3/+0

...Of course, theres a good chance there will be more enchantments as well.

Does anyone else think this set will make Hellkite Tyrant playable? Cards like this make me want to at least try
