How have none of you thought of Vedalken Infuser yet?

I'm trying to build a deck entirely around this card, just to see if it can be fast (without breaking it like Mindbend did). So far I'm using Ornithopter, Esperzoa, and Wall of Junk for constant triggers, then Mirran Spy, Grand Architect, and Etherium Sculptor as the speed engine, with Prophetic Prism for a cheap artie with a "draw a card" effect. Oh, and because they help pull out Mishra, Artificer Prodigy. I'm also using Steady Progress instead of contagion clasp for the cantrip, so I can get more arties.
I've also wondered about Golem foundry with Steady Progress and Volt Charge, and pyromancer ascension with archmage ascension just cause I like that combo :)...

@mindbend Myr Retriever clearly states "return another target artifact card from your graveyard" So using that, Golem Foundry and Ashnod's Altar would not work.

I've had as many as three of these out at once, spitting out a Golem on most turns with card draw/proliferate/tutor effects like Trinket Mage. Spam the board with cheap artifacts. I run in a mostly green-based deck so I can use Overrun and growth instants like Mirran Mettle. Have a Garruk's Packleader or two to keep your hand fresh and full of more artifacts to play.
The best thing about this is you can create the golems at any time, including in response to removal against Golem Foundry.

I love this card i run it in my mostly artifact creature deck. i also use pennon blade and mirrorworks. mirrorworks and golem foundry is a great combo. one time i pulled out five creatures in one turn with mirror works and golem foundry. and the other day i hit my friend with 56 damage for the win with that deck. i had two salvage slashers on the field with about 8 other creatures on the field. he was milling me so both salvage slashers were 24/1 and all of his creatures were dead so i hit him with 56

I run this alongside Conversion Chamber and Surge Node with a ton of proliferate. Inexorable Tide helps when I'm dropping 0-2-cast Artifacts like Welding Jar and Throne of Geth, and the lack of a cost means if I can manage more and more proliferation with, say, Contagion Engine, I can keep dropping golems forever.
Add in a Wing Splicer and send your flying robot army to glorious victory.

@Gaffy00
He says 2 Myr Retriever not one, and they can be used on each other, so yes that does work.

Shouldn't this be Phyrexian, what with all the splicers?

@EdgarPoeAllen
No, the Phyrexian equivalent is the much less efficient Conversion Chamber, with a graveyard focus.
Golem Foundry is far superior, I think. It does show an interesting difference between their styles, though. Conversion Chamber takes 2 turns (or untap it and spend mana) to turn the scraps of battle into a working weapon. Mirrodin, on the other hand, draws power from buying time with their own artifacts to make creatures, possibly even boosting them with Coretapper and such.
I like this card a lot. You can toss out a bunch of cheap artifacts (ornithopter! the baubles!) and get free golems while you're at it. It only takes 6 artifacts to get twice this thing's value, less if you're using stuff like Surge Node, Coretapper, and Proliferate to their full potential.

I've seen this in a deck completely colorless deck with Urza-Tron lands Twelvepost and Contagion Engine and a lot of other charge counter artifacts. One of my best friends most intimidating decks
