This is a very good build-around card in limited. I doubted it at first, but decided to try it out, and it won me a couple of drafts quite handily.
Despite the steampunk goblin, don't use it with Izzet, which has very few good gold/hybrid cards. I find Golgari-Rakdos uses it best, with plenty of decent, cheap multicoloured creatures that hold down the early game and are given a second purpose late game as Shocks when this hits the table. Then there's Auger Spree, Treasured Find, and Grisly Salvage, which are cheap and relevant at almost any stage of the game.
No, seriously, try it!

I always wanted to build a deck around this in draft. I finally decided to do so and probably ended up with my worst deck ever, going 0-3. Do not recommend. I was constantly color screwed, my deck was pretty bad, haha.

No, Desperate Ravings is red, no matter what mana you use to cast it. Similarly, Unburial Ritesis black, Saving Graspis blue, Tracker's Instinct is green, and Rally the Peasants is white.

if they're not going to cost it decently why bother making it at all?

You know what?
Even though this looks unplayable in limited, if you play 2 multi-coloured things, you've already got your money's worth. RtR draft is a really slow format (compared to M12 and the whole Innistrad block. M13 was kind of weird), so getting this out is usually a problem.
Not only that, but how many anti-enchantment spells are there that aren't rare/mythic?
There are 3: Golgari Charm (usually high pick, hard to get) Sundering Growth (requires a creature token on the field), and Keening Apparition (probably the best choice, since it's easy to get). Long story short, this is staying on the field for a while.
For all those haters of cost, I think this'd be pretty amazing if it cost 
, or even 
. It's fair now.
