The Black Arrow

Far weaker than Torpor Orb (55): a 3-mana ping plus minor Equipment body is poor unless Dragons become a major target.

Could be wrong if A Dragon-heavy Standard deck or unusually strong artifact-count payoff could make its ETB removal more relevant.

It is much less efficient than Pioneer hate artifacts such as Weathered Runestone (60), and the Dragon clause is too narrow to justify three mana.

Could be wrong if A successful Dragon strategy could create a small colorless sideboard role.

Well below Modern's Torpor Orb (61) as a hate artifact; three mana for one damage and marginal Equipment stats is far off-rate.

Could be wrong if An emergent Dragon deck or specific artifact-combo interaction not in context could give it a niche.

Legacy's efficient artifacts such as Null Rod (77) offer broad disruption; this is a slow, narrow removal spell with negligible equipment value.

Could be wrong if A metagame centered on a must-answer Dragon could justify isolated sideboard experimentation.

Equipment decks can use the body, but +1/+1 and reach are minor and dedicating a singleton slot to Dragon hate is highly replaceable.

Could be wrong if A local environment with many Dragon commanders could make the colorless instant removal more attractive.

Flash can pick off a small creature, while +1/+1 and reach are useful but modest; it is playable rather than a premium uncommon.

Could be wrong if Its value depends heavily on the frequency of 1-toughness creatures, Dragons, and relevant flyers.
