Can you exile it from your hand using it's affect?

"Argent" is French for silver. I think that was some kind of play on artifacts. Very funny, WotC.
Oh, by the way, your guys' "Blink" is more commonly referred to as Flicker.

@demoninabottle: Yes, you can still blink it to save it in a bad combat situation as long as it's still somewhere within the declare attackers/blockers phase.
So this is useful if you're attacking with it and it runs into a combat trick that would kill it. It's even more useful as a blocker though, since you can have it block, blink it, and the attacking creature still counts as being blocked. (Won't help much against trample though.)
Or with enough blue lying around you could do both. As has been said, the blink effect also effectively gives it 
: Vigilance until EOT.

the fact that you can declare it as a blocker and then remove it, so that it doesnt get damaged, and do this every opponents combat phase, is simply incredible. Someone above called it a "chump blocker" and i do believe that is an accurate de***ion. ;) Oh yea, and its a 4/3 flier. WHAT UP

I don't care what these naysayers say, he's awesome. Able to have a constant blocker that's slightly above the curve along with avoiding wrath and removal effects. Maybe my most favorite sphinx ever. 5/5

On constructed: Not exactly worth building a deck around, but Metalcraft kind of requires just that. I say wait for Mirrodin Besieged. It should contain enough standard-worthy artifacts to easily make this playable. Note: It's good, but it's competing with Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
On limited: First-pick the sucker. A 4/3 flyer for four that is, properly played, impossible to kill? That's a bomb if I ever saw one.

@greyhour: No, the activated ability will only work while it is in play. This goes for most abilities unless otherwise stated.
This is like a baby Cerulean Sphinx with a similar, but much better ability. {U} on Cerulean saves it from removal, but you lose it to your library, {U} on this and you get it back right away and don't have to cast it again. Much preferable.
