Better than the lucky charm cards (kraken's eye etc) most of the time.

If you cast it in turn 1-2, it can make you gain 15-20 life. So why is it rated so low if it only costs 1?
And it's not only used for gaining life, but for advantage the metalcraft in other mirrodin cards.

The power of this card is his weakness! Put one or two in a Proliferate deck (with 4-5 other card at 1CMC (for exemple 3 or 4 Fume Spitter) - so you increase your probability to play a card at turn 1). If you can put it into the battlefield at turn 1 (or at turn 2-4), you will gain so many life!
Who will care about this card? Who will play a Shatter to destroy it, Revoke Existence to exile it, or target it with a Oxidda Scrapmelter? Nobody!! So, at turn two, you have a charge counter on it. Then proliferate, wait, proliferate, wait... and this one will grow... When it become large, your opponent will understand your possibility to gain 5-6-7 or more life!
Two things to remember: 1) His 1CMC (hello Trinket Mage!). 2) The free activation, only "tap and sacrifice". So it's "indestructible" because your opponent will never be able to destroy it...
At mid game, it's n... (see all)

This card could save you a lot. I mean It only costs 1 mana. And if you have a lot of proliferating cards in your deck (Like I do) then you can add a few extra counters every turn. I guess it won't fit in with every deck, but in some it could help a LOT.

Decent Metalcraft enabler, and can be saced late game for an emergency save. Pretty handy for a common. If you're running Mirran Pauper, grab a few.

This is a solid card. It costs very little, and if you get it early you can play it on your first or second turn helping you get metalcraft, and then sitting around accumulating charge counters for a big payoff in the end. If you are playing against a slow deck, this is going to wind up giving you a lot of life for very little mana.
