It does nothing, including getting Crushed or Shattered.

Anyone here realise that there are cards out there that turn noncreature artifacts into creatures? This would give you an indestructable artifact creature to attack or block with AND help with metalcraft at the same time.

Maybe you guys don't see the true purpose of this card. Having a set of Darksteel Relic means you can activate cards that has metalcraft much easier. Put this on Caw Blade and throw in Puresteel Paladin then you can juggle swords infinitely. The fact that it is indestructible means that it would be hard for your opponent to disable metalcraft, because cards that can't use metalcraft reduce their strength by half or even more. With this card you can have metal craft by turn 3 or if your very lucky turn 2 and even 1.

Darksteel Relic 0
Artifact
Darksteel Relic enters the battlefield tapped.
Darksteel Relic is indestructible.
Tap: Add 1 to your mana pool.

And you could have always added the "Only spend this on artifact spells and abilities." should that be proven broken. I would have considered Metalcraft instead, but then it would have been too similar to Mox Opal.

I'd prefer using Darksteel Axe for Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Accorder's Shield for Metalcraft.

Feed it to Piston Sledge to equip another creature, or feed it Throne of Geth to proliferate.

Also, makes a perfectly good faux Mox --- (T): add 1 colorless mana ...

I feel the uses that this card yield are endless! Think about the fact that it is Zero to cast...What if you can make a deck with moxen and thopters and such that can all drop without mana. And the mox with metalcraft can be used in conjunction with this on turn 1. A Zero Land Deck!!! How streamlined that could be?? Very focused indeed! Tezzeret can make it a 5/5 critter!! After he Impulses for it! Wow!

It's a deceptive design guys. Yes it doesn't add mana, boost creatures or grant you three wishes and a trip to vegas. But you know what it can do? Survive. Divine Offering? Useless. Shatterstorm? Pfft. Dispatch? You're really going to waste a good card over a half decent one?

Metalcrafters don't worry about your memnites anymore. Myr Welder, would you like to be indestructible? I thought so. When you think about this some more, you guys will realize its hidden potential.
