Two Artifacts for one card can help so much to activate Metalcraft. Instant also makes a lot of combat tricks possible (any Metalcraft Card or Master of Etherium and the like)
Holly crap they made it a common? Any limited metalcraft deck will be picking up multiples. It's rather bonkers for limited metalcraft. Also it has sweet art. Wallpaper please!

Pulled 2 of these at the MBS prerelease, along with a Foil Myr Battlesphere and a Tempered Steel. That was pretty good.

@PhyrexianAdvocate: You can't use Master's Call until turn three with that strategy. Alternatively, you could just drop a couple extra Memnites to achieve the same task.
That said, this card being an instant works wonders for Metalcraft. This will definitely be fun for cards like Etched Champion and, as Vividice previously mentioned, Master of Etherium.

Yeah so.. I had been planning a polymorph style shape anew deck for a while but there was nothing to really give it zing and then this and blightsteel spoilers came out and I was very very happy.

Just like Carrion Call, just 1 cheaper, no infect, and helps metalcraft! Imagine that!

Dear Wizards,
Fourth turn Blightsteel, really?! Run no artifacts and play this card with Shape Anew and you win...
Can we get a poison cure next set, please? (even though I run a psn deck, it's too cheap, there needs to be some counter measures)

Sucks. Three mana for two 1/1 guys is horrible. Sure, in limited they can help with metalcraft or something, but else they will never see tournament play. Metalcraft is nice, but not if the artifacts you play to get it are next to worthless, like 1/1 dorks. 1/5

You guys bashing this card are missing the potential. Two 1/1 artifact instants and this is a common? Hella good card with much potential for metalcraft, sacrifices, surprise chump blocking. Very useable COMMON card.

What's that? More miniature mechanical minions to help push the noble Myr Battlesphere? Another set of cheerful Myrish hands to help get that Turbine spinning? More friends for the Myr Galvanizer to assist in putting the final polish on the Tempered Steel of that Myr Matrix? And it's a common? Frankly, these replaced the Darksteel Myr in my tribal deck, as they're moderately more useful for the casting cost for later-game abilities.

O-kzay...Master's Call is good. Not is constructed, clearly, but in limited where its purpose lies (seriously, people, start assessing cards on their intended purpose). This card enables Metalcraft decks, actually giving them a fighting chance as an archetype. Metalcraft is just SO weak as an ability, it can be disrupted SO EASILY. You have to be a really good player to play Metalcraft correctly, because if you don't play smart you're going to get blown out.
You should pick it 5th-6th-ish at the earliest in an average pack. If it tables, you can treat that as a signal that there isn't anyone else competing with you for Metalcraft, and go nuts.
I like the idea of suddenly being able to turn all your metalcraft on at instant speed.

I would have printed a card for cmc 4 that puts 3 tokens into play.

The thing is, this card isn't even that good in Limited. A card that goes "6th-ish, at the earliest" tends to be pretty damn mediocre. It's just not interesting or exciting, at all. I love cards that are awesome in Limited even if they aren't great in Constructed but cards like these are just fillers. Heck, even cards that aren't that good can still be very interesting... but this is not.

Turn 2: Plains, Master's Call, swing for 4 with two tokens to block with.
Yes, please.
That was pretty good.
