Did anyone ever consider Mindslaver, Ring of Ma'ruf, Memnarch, Ethersworn Adjudicator? Not to mention the fact that even if said target has no activated ability you essentially are denying your opponent the opportunity of ever getting back his (insert name of good Artifact here) unless you have something like Pull from eternity (highly situational)
Panoptic Mirror, Isochron Scepter, Mycosynth Lattice, and Darksteel Forge (inspite of the fact they dont even work with this) hardly scratch the surface of what this guy is capable of.
Magic community ftw for lack of imagination and comprehension of basic rules...
4.5/5

This card is the most intersting one to me from this new set. I find it strange because it does not apply to just artifact creatures, but all artifacts...
If the activated ability states the name of the original card, would it still work with this? Really, how can this work... it seems like this is going to have some problems...
Any thoughts?

linked abilities always annoy me, they change a card like this from omg the possibilities, to oh there aren't really many....
I think it is stupid to have linked abilities when you straight out read the card you think you can do stuff like the mimic vat combo, same reason I cant pull similar combos with Mizzium Transreliquat changed it from one of my favourite artifacts, to a just above sub par artifact in my collection
i no longer want to build a deck around it, mostly because i cant. its still a pretty good card though, its not a myr combo piece that can be picked off so easily with 4 toughness, and it does have a rareish ability
i would however, due to linked abilities dissapointing me all the time give it a 3.5 out of 5

Best of all, Isochron Scepter and you can use him to cast copies of any artifact exiled onto him.

Does a permanent changed with Liquimetal Coating remain an artifact after being moved to a graveyard until the turn's over? If so, this little guy could be a Jace, The Mind Sculptor, a Hoard-Smelter Dragon, and a Mountain all at once.

Much cooler than I thought. This guy can nab abilities from Necrotic Ooze and *** off the ooze player.
Opponent: you have artifact creatures in your yard, I have their abilities.
Me: Not any more. Now I have their abilities and you only have your abilities :)
It is my understanding that Myr Welder can imprint an Isochron Scepter and a Panoptic Mirror, and then start imprinting instants from your hand via the Mirror's granted ability and start casting copies of them via Scepter's activated ability. I deduced this by conducting a gatherer search of cards with an Imprint ability and specifically checking whether it was activated, like Mirror's, or triggered, like Chrome Mox. This way, Myr Welder can actually imprint cards that imprint, and abuse the activated abilities of all of them by imprinting nonartifact cards that they check for. Its imprint ability is linked to all abilities it has that care.

Run with Mesmeric Orb to ensure you have plenty of targets, and with Goblin Welder just because it's a welder. :)
Tsuichoi, Memnarch's an ok choice, but Mindslaver? Why on Earth would you imprint one-shot abilities that would require to you sac or exile your Welder?
