I ran a 4-of of this, Belbe's Portal and Dragon's Arch in a deck with urzatron and Cloudposts with Mana Cylix and Prismatic Lens to mana fix myself in a deck that used the dragon legends and it was disgustingly good. All I had to do was survive to turn 5 or 6 and it exploded. It wasn't really a good duel deck per se, but in multiplayer when you aren't dropping aggro threat early on people tend to ignore you.
The point of the card isn't to put charge counters on as fast as you possibly can, the point of it is to drop it turn one as basically a suspend, then 7 turns later you let it sit at 6 charge counters. Just make sure all the big nasties you put into your deck are the same color, the same type, and the same CMC and the rig I set up above will work wonders. You probably won't even need the cylixes or lenses, I only used those so I could use the abilities of the cards I had out si... (see all)

This card is ridiculously expensive for an uncommon. Glad its not banned or restricted in legacy / vintage yet though.

In tribal decks this card is almost a requirement.

Should Read:
"{T}: Put a Relentless Rats into play from your hand. Play this no earlier than the third turn."

And why would you screw this artifact by messing with counters using extremely fragile and expensive habilities?
It doesnt combo with Gilden Bairn at all. Also in 1.X, 1.5 and 1.0 environment the last thing you want to do normally is waiting 123123 turns to play a fattie, this guy is meant to keep at 2 or maybe 3 counters. Aggro doesnt want to run ridiculous 10/10 creatures that are impossible to play unless 'cheating' them into the table retardedly like this.
Merfolk and Goblin decks loves this one.
