Kinda weird to see a tiny human stick out of a giant jelly-thing

There's a lot to think about with a card like this besides just its Limited/Standard application.

For example consider something like Merieke Ri Berit. With a card like Crab Umbra attached to her (although there are better options) is extremely powerful. If they let something like that go for just a 1-mana untap cost it would be borderline broken. And as someone already mentioned, the same is true for creatures that produce mana. If they made it too cheap it would be quite easy to begin an infinite-mana generation loop in various formats.

To whoever designed this card: Horseshoe Crab untapped for one blue mana! ONE! His converted mana cost was three! How could you screw this up so bad is beyond me.

thought 1: ooh, training grounds would make this work!
thought 2: ooh, training grounds only effects creatures' abilities, not enchantments' abilities...

Personally I can't wait to add in a Steel Overseer and This to my BlueWhiteBlack Artifact Deck Sure it will be decently hard to do... I guess seeing as most of that deck is Blue but the pay off of the two comboing will be spectacular especially with an already massive Master of Etherium the Crab Umbra + Steel Overseer combo will definately be a great combo for anyone wanting to run a blue Artifact deck or just Artifact Decks in general.
