Training 2W, Remove two +1/+1 counters from among creatures you control: Destroy target artifact or enchantment.
1/2
That's right, with this guy around, any two counters can become a Disenchant. He can do it himself every other turn with anything with 3 power or greater.
Initially I was underwhelmed because the artefact destruction ability seems very expensive.
But once I looked past that and focused on him being a 1 drop with a 1/2 body with training, I realised he is an upgrade on white human 1 drops in the current standard, regardless of that ability.

The only underwhelming thing about this is that it is a Rare
Stupid good with Heliod, Sun-Crowned in EDH / Commander to machine gun your opponents artifacts and enchantments every time you gain life.

We can grow this guy to a 2/3 fairly easily (e.g. in Modern/Legacy Death & Taxes) and to a 3/4 or larger in Zoo/Humans decks or if you get a Stoneforge Mystic. Not bad for a 1-drop.
