# Detonate Detonate is a straightforward red instant from Rinascimento that destroys target artifact. As a common effect in Magic's early design philosophy, it represents the game's fundamental color pie where red handles artifact destruction through direct damage and removal. Collectors appreciate uncommons from this era for their accessibility and historical significance in the game's development. The card's simplicity makes it notable primarily for set completion rather than individual appeal. Since only nonfoil versions exist, there's no variant hunting involved. For Rinascimento collectors, Detonate fills a necessary slot in understanding how the set balanced its removal suite, though it lacks the distinctive mechanics or artwork that drive secondary market interest.
