Why is this card good?

Haywire Mite is the colorless-deck answer to a green-deck problem: cheap, repeatable artifact and enchantment removal that exiles. For just {1} to cast and {G} to activate, you get rid of nasty noncreature permanents — Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, Esper Sentinel, problematic equipment, or stax pieces like Winter Orb and Blood Moon. The key word is exile, which sidesteps recursion, and the noncreature restriction is rarely a downside since green already kills creatures easily. Why it's great: - It's an artifact, so it works in artifact-matters and tinker/recursion shells (Goblin Welder, Daretti) and is fetchable by anything that grabs artifacts. - Sacrificing it triggers death payoffs — fine in aristocrats — and the lifegain is minor upside. - Single-target tutorable green interaction is rare, so this fills a real gap. When to skip it: if you're not in green, you can't activate it. It's also slow — you're paying total {1}{G} and a card for one removal — so heavy interaction decks may prefer instant-speed enchantment removal instead.
