This was a lot of fun to play with Goblin Tunneler. Not tournament material or a limited bomb, sure, but neat and very new-Izzet.

Would synergize with an enchantment that operates like Zhur-Taa Druid ~ something that makes your mana rocks or producers deal damage to an opponent when tapped for mana. I don't know of any cards that do this, but if anyone does, feel free to chime in. This card will be much better for it ( and quite possibly turn it into the best in the cycle - just sayin).
@Vyandor It will be destroyed unless you can remove its board presence, play a combat trick, or remove its status as a creature before the damage resolves.

@WrathofShane
Just making it do damage to an opponent won't do the trick. The card specifies combat damage, and so it requires an attack. direct damage will not make this into a source of card draw. Something else that turns your artifact into a creature, Tezzeret the Seeker, for instance, will allow it to still have its ability intact. This also gives you a much stronger creature than a 2/1 and allows you better opportunity to keep your keyrune if it is blocked.

I was hoping the Keyrune would turn into a Weird.

Not necessarily. MaRo has said in an article(http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/mm/110) that Zendikar had shown that a land-themed block could work and is something he's confident they'll be exploring again. Should that happen and they go forward with another block or set with a strong land theme, then enemy colored manlands are such an obvious inclusion they'd be pretty much guaranteed.
My bet is we'll see them when we get to the block that explores the plane of Muraganda. Muraganda seems to be a prehistoric setting, so a land theme and manlands especially would fit quite well, given that the plane would be a largely unsettled and likely widely unexplored wilderness. The Mimeoplasm, a Muraganda resident, also sets precedence for an enemy color or even wedge-themed block, which I've been dying for since Shards of Alara. Time will tell.
