And you both missed that it's "... and ..." which denotes simultaneous effects, not "... then ..." which would allow you to return the sacrificed artifact.

This creature deserved to be ranked among top 3 of one-drop 1/1 creature in the history of magic, it is so insanely broken, yet still being legal for legacy and unrestricted.
Using Bazaar of Baghdad and Mass Hysteria, play your 
artifacts and dig your Darksteel Forge, Colossus of Sardia, Phyrexian Colossus, Platinum Emperion, Inkwell Leviathan, Bosh, Iron Golem, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Wurmcoil Engine, Arcbound Overseer...
Or Nullstone Gargoyle if you really hate their control deck

One of the best, most combo-able goblins in the game. And he just costs

Turns Intuition into Tinker. Tinker's the best card in the game.
Neither Intuition nor Welder are restricted or banned in any format.
Draw your own conclusions. ; )

Fun with Modular creatures. Also, note that it can be used to fizzle anything that targets one of your artifacts.
But of course its real power is serving as a reusable one-mana animate dead for artifacts.
Also: I'm not quite sure where this belongs on the color wheel, but red is the last place I would have put it. Blue would be a lot more logical. Sure, you can use it on your opponent's artifacts, but most of the time you won't be putting it in your deck for that (if only because you can't rely on your opponent having two artifacts that you want to swap, one in their graveyard.) That's more a happy side-benefit to its real power.

Rite of Flame x2, Faithless Looting, Goblin Welder, Lightning Greaves + target in the yard. Seems good.

I seriously want to ask these guys if they were even thinking. To make this fair, would have to be same cmc as the card you sacrificed. This block needed more experienced play testers.
.5/5
Unbalanced and poorly tested cards deserve no more then half star.

The errata on this card is terrible:
"that player simultaneously sacrifices the artifact and returns the artifact card to the battlefield."
One is an artifact, and the other is an artifact card, but the wording just sounds terrible.
