Now all wee need is another Splicer, probably in black called "Ichor Splicer" or something that will give them death touch. Then drop the two of them out with a Vital Splicer and a Tempered Steel and you'll be in business.
Alternately, in capable hands, this can help you net a Blightsteel Colossus turn 4

I like it although I'm not so sure I agree with how good it is. It's no spectral procession. When you consider that porcelain legionnaire is a 3/1 first striker for either 2 and 2 life or 3 mana though, this is at least pretty close if not better in some ways. I feel like first strike isn't that good these days though, at least on a small creature. Squadron hawks fly, and stoneforge will be making your creature either bigger or unblockable.. or both.. once you get a sword out. Green creatures are too big, or kill artifacts and so will just kill the golem, and red creatures.. well ok it kills red creatures.. but then you would be fighting a red deck full of lightning bolts.
I think it's good, I'm just skeptical on whether it's so good as to show up somewhere in a tournament style "white weenie" aggro deck.

It does fill mana curves nicely for a Golem deck. It's somewhere between your Throne of Geths or Golem Foundry and the other splicers. Like the splicers, though, they'll probably see mostly casual play.
Don't forget your Xenograft for the splicers themselves, though.

I feel like this is a rare not arbitrarily, but because it makes Dread Statuary take down half the creatures in magic. And makes Loadestone Golem very annoyingly take down the the rest.

@Vlion: Yes, because it needs to be a permanant to be bolted, and it's not a permanant til it's on the battlefield. Therefore, the fastest you can bolt it is after it resolves, but the golem trigger will always hit the stack before you can respond.

I think this has the potential to be good even outside of dedicated splicer decks, as its two creatures for 3 mana. One of them a 3/3, you don't normally get a 3/3 even by itself in white for 3 mana without a drawback, and as long as the splicer stays alive, it has first strike, which is even better.

Can't. Stop. Pulling. These.
My first 5 packs of New Phyrexia and I pulled 4 of these things. Not that they are bad, 
just isn't typically my color. Well, my friend was happy. He his playset for his 
Tokens deck and now I absolutely HATE playing against them. In this Sword environment, tokens should not be these efficient. I need to revoke my loan of them and sell them one of these days.
I think its funny how these Splicers don't have the abilities that they offer to the golems as many lords do. I guess its one of "Those that can't do, teach" cases.

Also known as the "Playable Splicer"
She's quite good though with other golems in general. Play her next to Lodestone Golem for a giant, hard-to-kill, board-stalling beater.
