If you think about it, isn't this thing essentially a Sonic Screwdriver?

Bad card. There's so much more you can do with two mana than just untap a single artifact! For one thing, autocard mu... (see all)

i fucken hate artifacts. not only that, but also, i hate stupidly low costing rigged cards. they could've made the casting cost 3 or 4 and this card still would've worked. a one mana drop is ridiculous. oh, hur hur, let me just dump out my 2 blightsteel colossus with master transmuter and ornithopter. oh i can keep tinkering for more of these combos? great. .... just effen great WotC.

Use it with an artifact land for infinite tapping and untapping!

Well, okay, thats kinda dumb, but there's still a million combo's that can use this thing easily.

Don't get me wrong—I love artifact decks and play them most of the time—but this and Steel Overseer being around before Scars of Mirrodin makes me nervous. At least Tezzeret the Seeker will have fallen out of standard, but he's pretty much guaranteed to come back in some form for this block anyway.

Really? I must be dreaming. Steel Overseer is in the same set, you know. And right before another artifact block. ... And would you really want to get hit by Grindclock up to an additional 4 times? How about Lux Cannon?

And don't forget Myr Galvanizer- you can make a pretty hefty amount of mana with all the mana producing myr. Of course, with copies of galvanizer you can go infinite anyway and not have to leave the set... I'll have a few things to say about that once it hits gatherer.

At least the permanents with proliferate cost 4 mana to activate in addition to tapping. That would just be absurd otherwise.

Still, reprinting this (especially before scars) was a really bad idea.
