Nowadays a 1/1 for 3 mana generally has to offer something special to be considered playable, but I contend that this still is fairly special in its own regard. It's pretty innocuous and can affect the board strongly. Of course once an opponent cottons on, it's toast. And Goblin Welder is better, natch.

This is actually a pretty good card, and could serve as a budget alternative to Goblin Welder...But still I'd feel weird if I said "Summon Archaeologist"...That sounds far too nerdy, even in Magic

I love the art. The guy's clothing is way too contemporary for the typical Magic setting.

@Evil The thing is, this guy bring artifacts back, which means one's you have to sac to get their effect, whereis Metallurgeon regenerates artifacts, which is normally only helpful to Artifact Creatures.

Wow.
A permanent that enables artifact recursion on a regular basis.
That's awesome.
5/5

How about Metallurgeon. Waaay better isn't it? Or am I not seeing something. Obviously Goblin Welder is amazing, but as in the same exact effect, by tapping mana, Metallurgeon kills the competition.
