Take this guy, put some Swiftfoot Boots on him, then drop a Spirit Mantle on him, and throw on a Darksteel Plate for lulz, and make sure to keep some other creatures out so you don't have to sac him for whatever reason, and he becomes quite the bastard. I'm thinkin about making a deck with this guy, a bunch of equipments, and 4 each of Goblin Gaveleer and Kor Outfitter. What do you all think?

This would make sense if it was Sunburst, but this is just too easy. I saw this come out twice, and both times I went into panic mode. My entire efforts were focused on killing this this thing, especially since it got a couple of cheap equipment on it. This is a race card pure as day, and entire decks are built around and play turns entirely against it. Unbalancing if you ask me. I don't like cards like this.

Too good. Like most artifacts, it combos well with Steel Overseer b/c it isn't affected by pseudo-shroud

This artifact soldier is really good. I run four of them in my new type 2 deck and often equip him with equipments such as Basilisk Collar, Sword of Vengeance or even Bladed Pinions to stop flying creatures if needed. Combined with Steel Overseer and/or Voltaic Key, this guy is a very good attacker and defender.

Great for protecting yourself against most of the Infect creatures in Scars of Mirrodin.

Got 3 out in the same game, to bad my opponent hit me with a steel hellkite and then choose 3.
Don't forget it do not have protection from colorless so a 3/3 artifact crature can block and kill it
4/5

This guy in stand alone is not much. But he is meant for an artifact deck. So boost that guy to the max with artifact attachments. I have a great Artifact deck and he has stopped the best of decks dead in there tracks. Add Reach and a strong attack booster to this card and only a well built Burn deck will stop this card.

If he had his protection from colors and your turned the opposing creature into an artifact with say liquimetal coating could they then damage him or is he still protected?

Puresteel Paladin& him should prove to be best friends.
Also he can challenge Etherium Sculptor, or Master of Etherium as best Artifact ever to imprint with Prototype Portal
