More powerful cards have been printed, but he's still good since he can keep bringing artifacts back.

This card was insanely powerful at the time of printing. Antiquities was not called age of the artificers for nothing! My most successful deck of all time was built around this card. It was essentially an artifact deck which included Mishra's Workshop, Urza's lands, artifact creatures and 4 Divine offerings. The usual mode of operation was to pull out a Triskellion, use up the counters, sac it for life, then return it to play with the Archaeologist.
P.S. Always wondered why this card was represented by a male as storywise the archaeologist Tocasia was a woman.

EvilCleavage, Metallurgeon's effect only allows to protect an artifact. If it's already destroyed, the Archaeologist is what you need.

Powerful card when combined with sacrifice artifact effects. Of course it has a giant removal target, but most good cards do.
