This is guy is amazing in extended right now.
With Memnite, Ornithopter, Accorder's Shield, Mox Opal, Everflowing Chalice and a horde of 1 cost artifacts, you can reasonably get him into play on turn 1 with an aggressive mulligan strategy. Especially if you include some Treasure Mages as well.
Not to mention, he shrugs off Doomblade, Go for the Throat, and Lightning Bolt.

This guy resembles a Dread Return in legs.

Never a disadvantage to lose this guy if you build around expendable artifacts. (which can be useful if necessary like Bonesaw, Sigil of Distinction, Everflowing Chalice, Spidersilk Net and Spellbook)

I'll think about putting him into my ad nauseam deck's sideboard as a sneaky way to beat decks that I'm having trouble with. I could easily have him down turn one, or a more likely scenario would be turn 3 when I have glaze fiend out and drop three 0CMC artifacts, then sacking them to the titan. swing for 8 in the air on turn three, and have a 6/4 as backup. I like.

With the inclusion of Memnites, this guy has even more opportunities of making it out for free.
On a side note, I'd like to see more black artifacts. Actually, just more colored artifacts altogether. I was convinced we'd see them in Scars...

I really wanted to like this guy, and I actually do, but his effect is useless, I mean, how often in a esper deck do you find your gravyard empty? I do almost all the time, even if I sacrifice for him, with sharuum and the sanctum gargoyeles, this card doesn't really have a right place in the esper shard... The glassdust golem is better... But his artwork kicks ass!

This could be potentially useful, assuming a deck with no mana, filled with zero cost artifacts, affinity artifacts, Mycosynth Golem and Darksteel Colossus. Maybe a Platinum Angel for good measure.
