This is one of those cards that is seriously underrated and overlooked.
There are a number of artifacts that are useful in some situations and harmful in other situations. Some may become harmful suddenly. Can you think of some examples? When that happens... in steps the Sage to clean up the mess... with the added bonus of drawing another card.
I love the Orcish Mechanics for this same reason. Combine these two with low cost artifacts. Nice for avoiding that horrible feeling of "why did I have to draw that artifact just now instead of ..."

Properly costed and effective even today. Lots of combo potential, of course. Worthy of reprinting in the right set.
