Artillerize

Izzet Artifact Synergy

While planning a Nicol Bolas Commander deck I came to notice something bizarre: There is not a single blue-red multicolor card that mentions the word "artifact". There are Crosis's Charm and Mishra, but both of them are also black. I find this strange. I always thought red was the color that cared the most about artifacts next to blue, with cards such as Bludgeon Brawl, Aladdin, Artillerize, Covetous Dragon, etc. How come Izzet doesn't get to play with artifacts, which seems like a natura fit?

Red is not #2 in caring about artifacts. It’s #2 (or #1 depending how you define it) at blowing them up. Red will repurpose artifacts from time to time but that still puts it at #3 behind black.
