Amped Raptor Amped Raptor doesnt have to be as good as the hype surrounding it to still be quite good in some kind of aggro deck or even as the only energy card in a deck like Domain Zoo
That leave you with only the regular artifacts in the set, and while there are a significant number, Im not sure there are going to be enough in your typical Blue deck to just have this work, since it is a completely useless card without other Artifacts
The Little Mermaid, for example, is spread across Sapphire (Ariel, Whoseit Collector), Amethyst (Ursula, Power Hungry), and Amber (Ariel, On Human Legs)
Red is usually paired with blue, that can support the monkey with Countermagic
It even deals some extra damage with its end step ability, which is relevant to this cards strength since it lets decks that care about the graveyard use Valakut Exploration without worrying about losing cards to exile
