Rationale

2cmc sorcery that tutors an artifact but forces random discard, with conditional burn payoff only if an artifact lands in the yard. Niche combo role in artifact-heavy decks built to abuse discard synergies or artifact recurrence; anti-tempo (sorcery speed, card-disadvantage swing) and anti-burn (2-mana investment for conditional 2 damage is too slow in a 20-damage race).
