A big ol' vengeful body. It'll probably end up dying pretty quick if they get a fatty out, but if not, awesome!

a colorless 4/4 for 4 in limited is pretty insane.

Interesting design. Even if you don't want this card there is a downside to passing this to the next player- you become it's target.
Finding out just how highly other players value these will be important in Conspiracy.

"Reveal Cogwork Tracker as you draft it and note the player who passed it to you."
- Ok, simple. I got passed this from Bob, so I make note that Bob passed this to me. Next pack, Pat passes it to me, so I note that Pat passed me one. Simple enough.
"Cogwork Tracker attacks each turn if able."
- Also simple. Every turn I have, he attacks. Done.
"Cogwork Tracker attacks a player you noted for cards named Cogwork Tracker each turn if able."
- So Bob and Pat passed me this card, and IF Bob or Pat is in my randomly-selected multiplayer game, I must attack one or both of them.
Uh, yeah. What was so hard about that?
As for the card, a 4/4 for is good, and the fact that we can use it in any deck is steller. The ONLY issue I can see is the "attack each turn" clause, but so what? Be aggressive.
@globeadue: It says it must attack twice because IF a tracked player is not in the game, whether it be from not being randomly selected for you to play agains... (see all)

@pstklone:
If you don't know the technical nature of card wording, you should probably not try to correct it. If you don't say 'Cards named' the cardname literally only means itself. If your wording worked, two Nantuko Shades would pump each other if they're out and you activate one of them. 'Cards named' is the only way within the rules that you can specify that it applies for other copies of the card.

@psyklone The wording means "If a player was noted for cards named Cogwork Tracker, this creature attacks that player each turn if able". It's not saying that it 'attacks for cards', or whatever you interpreted it as.

Contender for the worst wording on a card.
You don't "attack for cards", whatever the F that means. Just delete out all of that.
"Cogwork Tracker attacks a player you noted ... each turn if able".
"a" is the indefinite article so effectively means "any".

This card suffers some atrocious wording and duplication of ability.
Two statements of it must attack each turn if able - why?
I was seeing it as for the the longest time thinking what does attacking for cards mean.
"Cogwork Tracker attacks a player you noted
for cards named Cogwork Tracker
each turn if able."
Either by punctuation of better ability construction it should be interpreted as:
"Cogwork Tracker attacks a
player you noted for cards named Cogwork Tracker
each turn if able."
Bbone37 pretty much sumes up what it does, confusing wording remains, there are better constructs that could of been used to for this:
"Reveal Cogwork Tracker as you draft it and note the player who passed it to you as one of your 'tracked' players."
"Cogwork Tracker attacks each turn if able."
"Cogwork Tracker must attack one of your 'tracked' players if able."
