Destructive Tampering

In Commander, Destructive Tampering is too slow and too narrow — artifact removal at sorcery speed for three mana competes with Generous Gift, Nature's Claim, and a dozen other options that either cost less or hit more target types. The second mode, blanking flying and blocking, is occasionally useful in combat-focused decks but almost never worth a card slot when a simple pump spell closes games faster. In Pauper, the common pool tightens the competition, but even there dedicated removal like Shenanigans or Smash to Smithereens handles artifacts more efficiently. Across Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, Destructive Tampering doesn't see play — the formats move too fast for a sorcery-speed modal spell that doesn't generate card advantage or tempo at a meaningful rate.
