Detonate

# Detonate Detonate is a straightforward red instant from Mirrodin that destroys target artifact and deals damage to its controller. Collectors appreciate it as a functional piece of Mirrodin's artifact-heavy limited environment, where artifact destruction was genuinely useful. The card represents the set's mechanical identity during a period when artifacts dominated the metagame. Most collectors view Detonate as a solid uncommon rather than a chase card. Its appeal lies primarily in set completion and limited format nostalgia rather than constructed play or unique mechanics. Both foil and nonfoil versions exist, with foils offering the typical premium for collectors seeking complete Mirrodin sets. The card's straightforward design makes it accessible to players building period-appropriate decks or cubes.
