Kasib ibn Naji is clearly not having a good day in Mirage block. First he witnesses Telim'Tor's Edict, then he gets caught in a field of Elephant Grass, and finally he sees a Phyrexian Walker and realizes Phyrexia is real and that Yawgmoth is coming to destroy the world.

I think this is significantly better than Memnite. In a world of increasingly efficient 1 and 2 power threats (i.e. Snapcaster, Geist of Saint Traft, etc) I'd much rather have a more resilient creature that soak up early damage when I need it to. The automatic 1 power is almost irrelevant when you think about it. With Steel Overseer, I'd rather have a 1/4 than a 2/2 in most circumstances. Given that I play a more defensive/control-oriented version of the robots deck, this suits me just fine. Factor in the fact that it's Phyrexian and the art is WAY sweeter, I'm sold.

I love this card. It's a 0 cost artifact.

The essential companion to old, retired Phyexians. Also rather handy for Tinkering into a Blightsteel Colossus as I found out at last night's FNM.

This card is basically an object lesson in how important environment is to a card's power level.
At the time it was printed, it was a mildly interesting but mostly useless curiosity.
Then came Tolarian Academy, Tinker, and Goblin Welder, and it was nice to have around as a defense that could fuel those cards; but still nothing amazing.
Then we got Affinity decks and Steel Overseer and Tempered Steel, and now in the right deck this is basically a mox that can also block for you early on and become a beatstick later.

Doran, the Siege Tower rides these into battle, launching Ornithopters and Shield Spheres aplenty.

Gonna be using this in my upcoming Pauper Kuldotha Rebirth deck. Probably the second-best 0-drop artifact creature at common, it 3 toughness discouraging early assaults while being an excellent sacrifice target (Shield Sphere just usurps its place, even if it does have defender.)
