Should have been in FTV: Legends.
If you haven't heard of Urza and Mishra, you haven't been playing Magic long enough. Actually, with the return of Phyrexia, I would guess you must not play Magic at all.
Far more valuable for his history than this specific card's play value, the card is also playable and therefore totally justified Vault Material.

When I read the books I always pictured mishra as...bigger...not like hulk big but, I don't know, definitely more muscular than this. Still he has an amazing ability, and I want to find a place for him in my artifact deck. Toss him in with etched champion and some other metalcraft artifacts and watch the battle spiral into mayhem lol.

Poor Mishra. Ever since he found the Weakstone, his life has been total crap.

Mishra's ability lets you get out artifacts even if the spell was countered.
Whenever a player casts an artifact spell search your library, hand, blah blah put it on the battlefield.
player 1: "I cast steel overseer"
player 2: "I counter steel overseer"
player 1: Since I casted a spell named "steel overseer", I search my library for a card named "steel overseer" and put it in play"
Even better:
I think the countered overseer goes into your graveyard as you search your graveyard. Oh look! There's a card named "Steel overseer" in my graveyard... wonder how that got there?!
May not be the case though.
Seeing him makes me miss Urza. Good times, those were. Though I didn't actually start playing until Mirrodin.

If only his ability was "Whenever an artifact enters the battlefield under your control, if you cast it from your hand, search your hand, library, and/or graveyard for a card with the same name and put it onto the battlefield." That way, in response to the ability triggering, you can sacrifice the artifact to something, then let Mishra's ability resolve, allowing you to search your graveyard and put the sacrificed artifact onto the battlefield. But alas, it was not to be, and Mishra now only works with Nether Void, Blood Funnel, and Possibility storm in EDH
Still a great card, though!

@kaleidostorm
the way it actually works is you cast your overseer, it goes on the stack. Mishra triggers and his ability goes on the stack. They counter the overseer.
so, resolving goes, counter the overseer: successful, counterspell then overseer hit the yard. mishra triggers, search everything for any steeloverseers find one in graveyard (yay!) put it into play.
if they put the counter spell on the stack before Mishras trigger then Mishra will resolve first, you'll need t get a new one and then the first one gets countered and hits the yard.
