Swapping an Ornithopter for an Inkwell Leviathan? Repeated recursion of Sundering Titan? Yes, and yes again.
With Intuition as a graveyard feeder, welder decks are extremely powerful. I've also had plenty of fun using welder and Careful Study.
This card enables many winning strategies, all for 1 red mana.
5/5

@GrimjawxRULES: You missed a word:
"Choose target artifact a player controls and target artifact card in that player's graveyard. If both targets are still legal as this ability resolves, that player simultaneously sacrifices the artifact and returns the artifact card to the battlefield."
I did too on first pass, and thought the exact same thing. But if you notice it refers to "artifact" for the one on the battlefield (because it's a artifact permanent), and "artifact card" for the one in the graveyard (because it's a card in the graveyard of type "artifact"), it makes sense.
And I agree the flavour text rocks. I lol'd when I first read this back in the day.

Haha, I love it! This is almost certainly the one Goblin Artificer that nobody would argue is marginal.
I have loved and collected goblins for a long time... when Urza's Legacy was still relatively fresh and new, I remember seeing so many of these in a vendor's dollar rare box. I looked at the card, thought "Meh... but it's a goblin"... and bought one.
I still kick myself for that to this day.
@Grimjaw: Agreed re: flavour text, 100%. The temptation to ask an opponent if they have any ashtrays in their graveyard is just too strong to pass up.

I could totally imagine a mirror match between two of these:
"I trade my Ornithopter for a Blightsteel Colossus."
"Well I trade my Memnite for a Mycosynth Lattice, use Voltiac Key to untap the Welder, then trade your Blightsteel Colossus for an Ornithopter.
"Well I trade my Ornithopter for a Dross Scorpion, use Voltiac Key to untap the Welder, trade your Welder for your Shifting Wall. It dies, so I untap Welder to trade your Voltiac Key for a Shifting Wall then it dies, so I untap Welder and trade my Ornithopter for a Blightsteel Colossus."
"Screw it, here's a Lightning Bolt."

so many combos, most of them very very mean and very, very efficient. Though I find it funny that the prices for this card online range from 7 dollars to 150.

According to the flavor (text), it would make more sense if it read
Choose target artifact a player controls and target artifact card in that player's graveyard with a converted mana cost equal or less to the converted mana cost of the artifact. If both targets are still legal as this ability resolves, that player simultaneously sacrifices the artifact and returns the artifact card to the battlefield.
As it is, the flavor text might as well read:
"I wrecked your ashtray, boss. But look I made you a metal guy."
(Since he apparently is able to do just that, i'm pretty sure he got a promotion after that incident.)
I mean, damn. If he's got the scrap metal, he can turn a Darksteel Relic into a whole Darksteel Forge.
Now tell me that's not impressive!

Even two Ichor Wellsprings net you two cards per turn.

At one time, it was the best creature in Magic. It still has an astoundingly powerful effect, and is blazingly fast. However, there is not the metagame for it at the time of this post.
