There's some scary infect decks starting to get built around this guy dropping on first turn, with no possibility of paying for the cantrip.

Gimme back Pyrite Spellbomb. RDW needs to crack some pro-red skulls.

It's utility for Kuldotha Red. I mean you can turn it into an clear path and a card, as part of the metalcraft count for Galvanic Blast, or fodder for Kuldotha Rebirth and a card.

While definitely not as versatile as it's ancestor, Pyrite Spellbomb, it's ability can be potentially better than that of Pyrite should you desperately need to get something through (Remember, Infect was in this block).
Furthermore, where you had to either choose one or the other with pyrite and both abilities required it to be sacrificed, this card can use both it's abilities for one red mana, and it's draw card ability can be triggered at any time it would be destroyed, so sacrificing it to shrapnel blast allows you to draw a card in addition to dealing the 5 damage to your opponent simply by paying one {R}, something not many artifacts can boast.
