You named the only situation where this artifact is unfavorable for you. You could say the same about any artifact. Imagine this situation:
You put on the Red Balloon, and the enemy attacked with an Alliance and no mana. Or better yet, with the Armor of the Damned. Normal?
P.S.: You're starting to act like the people who ban Dragon Fly Hives and Preserves. :D Why not just accept this mechanic as it is and play taking it into account? :confused:
