There are no comments yet for this card.
I love how the flavor text even points out the card is pointless. You may have problems, but and artifact this clunky fixes none of them.

I think Wizard was a bit overcautious when trying to print a fixed version of Voltaic Key here.
for untapping wouldn't have been a problem i guess.
What are you going to do with that increased cost for flash anyways? Keeping 
open to surprise your opponent by untapping an artifact? Hooray...

Flavourtext is so making fun of the old Key's brokenness :D

I'd rather have a Cloud Key.

Voltaic key is better but if you look on ebay this one is cheaper.

tapping five artifact lands during your opponents end step, to flash this into play, so you can untap 1 artifact land, is such an efficeint use of mana..... not
a bit too pricey, especially since they printed better cards in Mirrodin block....
Voltaic Construct
this was in darksteel, a 2/2 creature for 4, has 2:untap target artifact creature.
Limited to just creatures, however I would consider it superior as once out, you can do it multiple times in a turn, for less mana. also it turns into 2:Pseudo Vigilance, even on itself, so not too shabby
Clock of Omens
limitless potential in any artifact deck.
anyways this card is way too expensive to have any playability at all

best use i can see is hold it in your hand to flash in and trigger off metalcraft buffs after your opponent declares attackers/blockers

Wizards tries to fix Voltaic Key and winds up going with "Jandor's Saddlebags with Flash for artifacts". Apparently R&D forgot why they took the saddlebags out of print for good after 7th edition: it was crap.
I'll admit that R&D tried to make it a little better by giving it Flash so you can at least cast it at the end of your opponent's turn, but it's still fairly bad. At least it's a common and not a rare like the Saddlebags, but it's not a very good one.
What I would have liked to see? An artifact version of Puppet Strings. That would have been worth an uncommon slot though, or maybe even a rare.

Flash makes it a nice trick in limited. Untapping your golem to block is not such a terrible idea there.
