# Burn the Impure Burn the Impure is a straightforward red removal spell from Mirrodin Besieged that appeals primarily to players building limited decks rather than constructed formats. The card's modest power level—dealing damage scaled to artifact count—makes it a role-player in sealed and draft environments where it occasionally shines but rarely dominates. Collectors tend to overlook commons from this era unless completing full sets, though the foil version holds slightly more appeal for those pursuing premium versions of their collections. The card represents typical mid-2000s Magic design: functional but unremarkable. Its presence in Mirrodin Besieged's artifact-heavy limited format gives it contextual relevance that doesn't extend much beyond that specific environment.
