Awww... without the flavor text from 7th, 8th and 9th editions, it's just not worth it.

It doesn't think. It doesn't feel.
It doesn't laugh or cry.
All it does from dusk till dawn
is make the soldiers die
Oh wait, that was me at the New Phyrexia midnight sealed deck prerelease when I opened a Skithiryx and a Hand of the Praetors in my packs.
Sorry for sideboarding you, big guy. You just weren't my win condition.

Why can Wurmcoil Engine do stuff like that even though it costs the same?

Still not very good, but it adds muscle to any limited deck which is a good thing. It has a purpose and does it well, something its phyrexian creators would be proud of.

A prime example of powercreep.
How you ask? Well, compare him to pretty much every other artifact creature in block. He doesn't stack favorably. But he used to be at the very least respected, even if he wasn't a creature slaying bomb of a card. And even with the new costs for artifacts (
for a small deity), I still think he's one of my favorites. He's exactly how artifacts should be, inefficient but flexible.
Also, art is bawse, don't know what everyone's complaining about.

I don't understand; why are they reprinting it in M13 as an uncommon?

The art appears to be a zoomed in version of Rally the Forces. Seriously, look at the big guy in the back. Pose seem familiar?

Wurmcoil Engine.
I wish R&D would start giving junk cards a buff and tone down power cards. Still needs to be a gap, but not such an obnoxious one.

Well... Every set needs an underpowered, limited-only creature at Common. Better creatures definitely exist in this block.
Also, boo for not having the old flavour text.

Great new art... but as far as Reprints go, there were many better choices. Phyrexian Walker would have been amazing as a compleated Memnite.
