Item removal in shadowera for non-priests is both expensive and situational. You can only play removal after your opponent puts down a key item (normally keeping your removal in hand for a few turns in case he does) and often it costs as much as the item in question. Also your opponent probably got some good use out of it on his turn.
Not only that, In some games item removla cards are dead draws (for example you run ley line nexus to tech vs badurru, but face voice of winter priest instead). This is in comparison to creature removal, which is often more cost-efficient than the creature itself and almost guaranteed (very few decks won't fear "now you're mine")!
Why isn't there a reasonably priced card that you can rely on to pop an item? Ley line nexus needs a highly costed item, dawn raid needs a cheaply costed item, can we just get a 3-4 cost card that pops any item? This would help with very strong heroes currently like gwenneth, badurru, amber and priests for example (bows, jewweler's dream and king's pride).
Another thought: same thing for attachments at a cost of 1-2. Would help with dominating attachment builds like confluence jeriko, lance, victor, gwenneth... confluence anything really.
