Cool art, at least.

Since he's got swords on both hands he looks like he should have double strike or something.

Scornful Æther-Lich is scornful of this mockery.

It seems like every set based on Mirrodin we get a cycle of artifact creatures with colored activated abilities. It also seems like they all suck.

This is actually not that bad in limited. Survived the slagstorm and giving it vigilence is good to fight the weenie battlecry decks

How brought up storm crow?
(2) for a 1/2 flying is not half bad...

Glimmerpoint Stag or Akroma's Devoted would be better choices, unless you want artifact creatures. If you want artifact creatures, there are far better ones.

4 mana can get you so much more.

Was static Vigilance really all that broken?

4 CMC for a 2/4??? And you have to PAY extra, and each time, to give it vigilance??? Very poor card!

Not every card can be a bomb, and some cards need to be bellow the curve or there wouldn't be a curve. In a draft this could be a very late-pick and its not completly useless. You can make anything look good with equipment.

"Constructed fodder, nothing more."

You must mean "Limited fodder". This guy is solid in a draft, though he is worthless in sixty-card decks.

If there were no bad cards, you wouldn't have anything to compare good cards to.

Static vigilance is nice, but this guy came out in a set with Necrotic Ooze. I think they are just trying to find ways to coax players into Ooze decks.

And if you draft a bunch of equips this guy is a great pick.

Sigh.

I just really like how the card looks.

A lower cost would've definitely been nice or simply a much more useful ability. I don't play enough draft to appreciate this.

This is not the best four casting cost white creature with vigilance. Why would they ever print it? Whyyyyyyyyy!?!?

Gee, with sentinels like this, no wonder the Mirrans are losing XD

I have a soft spot for actually appropriately costed artifact creatures. 2/4 for 4 isn't half bad, that's a fairly solid body, and while I doubt I'd give it vigilance every turn, it's nice that the option is there.
