Great flavor text. No synergy with Precursor Golem, though, unfortunately; read the card. It says "instant or sorcery".
I don't know why this didn't just say: "o2: Target artifact creature gets +1/+1 or gains your choice of flying, trample, or haste until end of turn." I guess because they figured people would read it too fast and think the "or" was an "and".

I think what ZuesAscendant is talking about is that with the Precursor Golem is that when you use an instant or sorcery on ONE of any golems,it will hit all of the others. Let's say you play Groundswell on a golem token. It will give the Precursor, the Artisan and the other two or more (depending on you have a Golem Foundry etc.) golems on the battlefield the +2/+2 or +4/+4.

So, at first you may THINK he is wrong, because we would read the ability of the Artisan. But, overall...it...would have been evaded by merely saying "Golems will do well with the Precursor Golem because of its ability."... Which would be found more on the Precursor Golem card, and not here...

"Why yes, my Blightsteel Colossus DOES have flying and haste."

I managed to get this out along with the myr galvanizer / palladium myr mana loop... then i got out a myr propagator. an infinite amount of myr tokens with an infinite amount of +1/+1 and flying, trample and haste is not something to take lightly. tho it's hard to get out the end result was worth it

Late in a game this can be a surprise finisher if you have access to a lot of mana. This could be land, this could be a bunch of creatures/tokens and Ashnod's Altar, whatever. This guy can give himself haste, trample and pump. Liquimetal Coating can have him beef up any creature you want.
Green mana ramp and mana-producing artifacts like Palladium Myr can make it happen.

Great finisher in my casual splicer deck, especially since it's green/white, the flying is invaluable.
I give him a 3.5/5 because he is a bit expensive but his abilities work on any artifact creature, so that's a great bit of versatility.

this card plus livewire lash really good combo target itself and livewire lash kicks in and deals 2 damage nice way to kill off unwanted creatures or chip at the ennemies health

It's a golem that makes other golems!
Or, makes them better, at least.

My Infinimyr deck needed a win condition, and here it is. Though he must have been exhausted, having had to fit up several dozen myr into behemoths..

I like cards like this. They're highly adaptable and they give you a lot of options. The abilities thing really takes the cake. I might make a golem deck, and if I do this guy's an autoinclude.
For comparison, look back at Phyrexian Splicer. Not a creature and can target non-artifacts, but the same abilities for tapping and the same cost. I think this guy works better, though splicer has the ability to shut down enemy creatures too.
