This is a surprisingly deadly card! I recently built a casual mono-black artifact deck with these guys, Phylactery Lich, and Precursor Golem for obvious reasons.
He can get out of hand really fast provided you build around him and accelerate your artifact drops. Using Howling Mine to help spit out sets of Everflowing Chalice, Brittle Effigy and Elixir of Immortality. Even threw in a Worldslayer for lols.
Also, Vault of Whispers, Darksteel Citadel and the other artifact lands can REALLY help to get those +1/+1 counters flowing!

This is one of the stranger, yet awesome, interactions for Lord of the Unreal.

So, it's an illusion... Which is black... And an artifact. Odd set of attributes, that.

Artifact illusion? Sudden Vorthosgasm.

Kind of like a Tendrils of Agony on legs that only counts artifacts? lol
You can also play with Myr Battlesphere/Myr Turbine to get like +10/+10.

Like Vermiculos, but cheaper, more compact, and with the benefit of flying. If worst comes to worst and artifacts fail to materialize, you've only wasted 2 mana, not 5. I like.

If Steppe Lynx is good; this should be nucking futs.
Artifacts always have been the most broken card type.

The thing I don't understand is why a creature made of broken glass would have an attack of zero. its a contradiction in terms

Funny story: I actually drafted a foil one of these.
for the rest of the night I was laughing at the fact that my "Glaze Fiend is glazed"
