3 mana for a bunch of 3/3s? Sure it's not immediate but it's not like the only reason you're casting artifacts after you play this is to put charge counters on it. In addition to whatever you're getting from your other artifacts, you're getting 3/3s! And it doesn't even require a tap or mana ability.

I think this could be pretty effective in an artifact deck. poop out a 3/3 every 3rd or 4th turn. will work will with contagion clasp's proliferate also

Not the most powerful thing to pair with Sensei's Divining Top, but it is fun.
Especially after you cast a second top for free with Etherium Sculptor

@ saphireblade: Artifacts entering the battlefield does not trigger this artifacts ability, you have to cast the spell, which means if the spell gets countered you still get your counter, although if it was when an artifact entered the battlefield, it would be broken, three of them out with (turn 3,4,5) and another artifact afterward, would result in an infinite amount of 3/3's, and thats not all the fun really.

Woah, CoMMON.
By 1, comes the harassment.
By 2, comes skirmish and security.
3 of them, forms a significant threat.
4 of them, comes an army.
Then chuck in a load of cheap arties, and your opponent bows.

Unless your deck is 70%+ artifact or soaked with proliferate some random gray ogre is better than this. Maybe for 
or for 
with trigger off opponents artifacts too it would be playable.

Was wondering if the tokens would be able to trigger the effect or not. I'm new to the game so im not sure if placing a token would count. Even better can i get the effects by cycling out 2 welding jar

I know that this is a terrible card, but I can't help but think of ways to spawn a hoard of golem tokens! As a common, perhaps I can draft 3 or 4 of them...
edit: nope, still stinks. But I did my best to push it. Even used Contagion Clasp. Spend your mana/energy somewhere else.
