Vithian Renegades
The trick to making maindeck artifact hate palatable was to staple it to a body already worth playing. A 3/2 for three across two colors is aggressive on its own; bolting artifact destruction onto its entry means the card pulls its weight whether or not the answer connects. The wrinkle is that the trigger is mandatory: destroy target artifact, not "may," so against an opponent with no artifacts you are picking off your own (a Signet, an equipment, a token), and against a board with nothing artificial at all the trigger simply does nothing. That keeps it honest as a maindeck inclusion rather than free disruption: it is a creature first, an answer when an answer exists. The destruction triggers on entry rather than on cast, which matters more than it looks: any way to flicker or rebuy the creature re-fires the kill, turning a one-shot answer into a repeatable one. It is a clean expression of the multicolor philosophy that rewards a Gruul commitment with effects neither color buys alone at the same rate: red supplies the artifact destruction, green supplies the aggressive body, and the gold cost prices the package below what either half would cost as separate cards. The result folds tempo and disruption into a single drop, so a deck willing to commit to two colors never has to choose between pressure and a clock against artifacts.
