 {W} {G} ~
Human Cleric

When ~ enters the battlefield you may exile target artifact.

Exalted

2/2

The idea is that there are dangerous artifacts that need to be put away. (kinda like Warehouse 13) But at the same time it is not just about dealing with 'things', it is also going out in the field to confront the enemy.

So this is a very acceptable design I think. You can't play it on beforehand, like pridemage, but it does exile the threat. It can be an answer to tinker. It has elements of Relic-Warder, Pridemage and Tin street Hooligan. It helps in the shop match up, it can deny mana by sniping a mox. It can be a good copy target for clones.

I like this card and would really want to see it print. You guys think it is possible?

Just because it's an ETB removal effect doesn't mean you can remove the activation cost on Pridemage and call it a day.  The closest benchmark for an ETB artifact destruction 2 drop would be Tin Street Hooligan.  Your card is much, much better than Hooligan, and Hooligan already saw some Vintage/Legacy play.

It needs to either have a {1} kicker for the ETB effect, or not have exalted, or be a 1/1.

To be fair, it does directly compare to Leonin Relic-Warder.  Although I do not think that it's fair to omit the LTB condition; if it's going to exile the artifact forever, definitely get rid of Exalted.

Agreed, it's pretty much a copy of Warder, but with Exalted and no leave play.

That said, I don't think it's that overpowered, it COULD see print, but it wouldn't because it's so uninspired. Just a mix of 2 cards people already use, nothing really interesting from design standpoint. If you change P-T, it becomes Hooligan, leave Exalted, and it's Pridemage. Just boring.

Why not go wild with it instead? Suggestion...

If an opponent controls 3 or more artifacts, you can play Artifact Hater Dude for 0 and as though it has Flash.
When enters battelfield, exile artifact,
2/2
