Outside standard, run this with Pentavus, Gilder Bairn and Filigree sages for repeatable library searching shenanigans. Pump up Pentavus with Gilder, pour out pentavite tokens and exchange them for something delicious using the sages to untap Forgemaster. Training grounds makes everything cheaper if you didn't already fish out your infinite mana combo.
As a summary, this card makes it quite easy to fish out your combo cards or "game winner golems" in a defensive deck. Will surely draw huge amounts of aggro from opponents if you are clearly building up a token army.

If whatever artifact you tinkered for isn't indestructible, your opponent can essentially take out four artifacts with one shatter. Good reason not to to sac the forge-master itself and to sac tokens instead.

Once Zendikar block rotates out of Standard, this card is going to be crazy stupid. In a Myr Deck, you can get Battlesphere after Battlesphere , and Galvanizer after Galvanizer. A crazy good card with a solid body.

You guys are thinking too small here. Sacrifice 3 Myr Retrievers and get back all three of the Retrievers from the graveyard. Because each of them check when they enter the graveyard for artifacts they would each see the other enter the graveyard seeing as they enter at the same time. This will allow you to have each of them return the others to your hand so you would get all 3 of them back with out losing anything. Then after you do that, search your library for something like Clock of Omens, Dross Scorpion, or Voltaic Key then just untap it over and over again! just as long as you have somethign like Semblance Anvil in play to make all your artifacts cheaper to play! Then you now have access to everything in your deck!

This thing is game winning if left unanswered. Definately my favorite artifact tutor of all time! Very fun card to play in a casual artifact deck. 5/5

Used it in my Myr white token generating deck to pull out a missing peice of my infinite mana combo, a platinum angel, or Darksteel Forge
Or all three <3

Why not go more unconventional, sac 3 Blightsteel Colossus for a Ornithopter, or worse Razor Boomerang!

@Woolywoo indestructible doesn't work when sacrificing... it uses different mechanics...

Love this card, it's no Tinker, but it does you in a pinch.
