Aurochs don't need you! But they may play you anyway

I would have prefered if he was every creature type while not on the battlefield, or if you could choose his type before starting a game if he's in your deck.
Or if you could choose between the +1/+1 boost or cost reduction.
Don't get me wrong, this is a decent gift Wizards gave us so we have a lord for any tribe wanted.
But you could also call him Captain Ersatz.
If you got a lord for your tribe, that one will likely be preferable to this guy since he gives a second bonus. Being colorless can be advantageous in some cases, but as an artifact it's also an easier target for removal.

Aren't all Slivers technically lords? They are the lord tribe.

I saw a deck with Black cat and sanctuary cat and this guy. I loled at the mental image of an automaton of a housecat =3

I plan on using this card in, ironically enough, a Construct deck. The closest thing they had to a Lord before was Steel Overseer. A playset of both with Triskelions and Solarions and you could have a pretty vicious colorless aggro deck you could easily add combos to.
@ Exelia:
Unfortunately, no. 'Changeling' is an ability, not a creature type. Changelings are actually Shapeshfiters in terms of creature type.

So many very...flavorful possibilities.
Adaptive Automation + Embrace of Shiv = A true dragon
AA + Eldrazi Consciption = A man-made colorless, 12/12 Eldrazi Construct Lord / what has science done, etc.
AA + Angelic Destiny = Well, it's kind of redundant, but now it's a double angel or something
AA + Specter's shroud + something that gives it flying = A typical Specter...construct. that sounds just too cool.
AA + Exoskeletal Armor = Ach! Hans, Run! It's the Adaptive Automaton!
AA...you know what, zombies don't have characteristic abilities, and I don't know what you're doing not using the ACTUAL zombie lords.
AA + Guard Duty = All hail the mighty wall tribe!
AA + Skeletal Grimace = A pretty useful skeleton lord with cheap regenerate
And many more like this!
I just can't stand for my adaptive automaton to actually not have the abilities that it should!
...You know.
A specter tribal deck.
Tht sounds so cool I think I'll make it now!
