Roughly on par with Goblin Piker. I'd say this is strictly better except that the Warrior creature type is more useful than Artificer.

People seem to think this card sucks, so I concocted a comprehensive list of all artifacts that would be worth sacrificing to activate this guy's ability: Joven's Tools
And that about does it.

It's a tragedy that a card that has a freaking goblin version of Rat Fink on it performs so poorly.

Zendikar taught me that 2/1 creatures can be good and I guess that Scars limited will be much slower. Only better for this card, if you try to draft fast aggresive R/G metalcraft deck, this might be a decent card - Don t underestimate the surprise factor of Haste...

This guy is win. Sure, he's not that great as far as combat is concerned, but if we looked at everyone in THAT regard, nobody would appreciate people like Oprah, or Bill Gates. Just LOOK at this guy! He's so happy, just enjoying life without a care in the Phyrexia ridden world! Well I for one, applaud this jolly gent. Also, he DID cut an opponent down to 10 life in one of my drafts before they could get anything out.
Turn one: Golden Urn (I drafted 4) Turn two: OXIDDA (Knievel) DAREDEVEL
He shout out of my hand, tossed that junk in the engine, and slammed into my oppoenent for 4 more turns before they got something other than equipment out. FUN.

I wish I had the facial/tongue-deformity to ride motorbikes like this... at the speed limit :(
Nice, cheap sac outlet for my metalcraft deck with Spine of Ish Sah, but otherwise, rather meh...

Google the Muppets version of "Windmills of Your Mind". That's what this card always reminds me of.

This guy is actually pretty good xD He builds great tempo for sacrificing an artifact (such as Perilous Myr), taking a quick beat, and then making another sacrifice or Goblin-oriented combo... In a very weird way the art is true because this probably is the most stupidly fast Goblin cards ever printed (well maybe not as stupidly fast as lackey, but that's pushing it)
I never really used him for combat. But a free artifact sac engine is awesome. I used him along side the wellsprings, spine of ish shah, the creature that loves artifacts in the graveyard, and also for a steal creature, liquid metal coating combo. Sorry, in the right deck, I think this little guy can wreck some serious carnage.

Proof that even with a rocket sled, goblins still aren't very good at sledding, unless they are the sled.
on second thought...try not to play this.
Joven's Tools
And that about does it.

As for the card, it would've been really sweet at R. That way you could sac a thopter or something for it.
