I really agree. It just supercharges any engine. You need less + buy because you can just get two of any engine piece for only 2$ more. The card itself isn't awful: it can trash curses / coppers, turn golds / plats into green or two good 5 cost engine parts, it can trash colonies for +2 points. It has its uses in the early game for coppers, and end game for green, but in-between it's usually a dead card.
