Broken to the point of hilarity. The fulcrum of my semi-budget vintage artifact deck I call "Big Blue."

The Metalworker itself looks like something from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
"What are you doing, Dave?"
"I'm revealing my hand to gain 
mana."
"I can't let you do that, Dave."

I reveal 7 Myr Superions! And then I will put them all into play!

What flawless logic. "Its not broken because you can just use a removal card before next turn." I bet you thought the urza's block was balanced and good for the game.

Real reason its not legacy banned is because tolarian academy is a bit better, and the two are antithetical to each other

I play four of these in my vintage colorless bullet catcher/eldrazi deck when facing off against two or three players.

It doesn’t hurt to also control mana acceleration permanents like Cloudpost, Glimmerpost, Eye of Ugin, Eldrazi Temple, Vesuva, Tolarian Academy, Sol Ring, or Urza’s Incubator. Not to mention equiping Swiftfoot Boots, or casting Not of This World, to better protect Emrakul (who only has protection from COLORED spells). Then in phase four cast aforementioned bullet catchers for ze... (see all)
