Shatterstorm
Our editor Bill pointed out that we've never
reviewed this card on Pojo in almost 25 years. I
was very surprised, but then again, maybe its
place was always obvious. When a card was
perhaps the first one-sided Wrath of God effect,
and has been giving decks based on fire and
combat a chance against some of the most
powerful cards in Magic for two decades, is
there much to say other than praise it? But its
praise is more than due, and Shatterstorm is one
of the first cards you should consider in red
Commander decks, and one of the first cards you
should get when you're going to play a 1990s
throwback format.

Shatterstorm (4/27)
The artifact equivalent of
Wrath of God, albeit uncommon because mass
artifact hate in most blocks without
Mirrodin in their name tends to be
pretty weak. The “can't be regenerated" clause
rarely comes into play, but it is nice on the
occasions that you need to blow something up
with Welding Jar threats abound or something
that can itself regenerate.
Nothing else to really say,
honestly. Shatterstorm will always be a decent
sideboard tech in Modern (though slightly
inflexible), since it hoses Affinity and some of
the other artifact-reliant decks. Most of the
time, though, it’s not going to have enough
targets to justify running it.
