Nice. Cost of a Diamond, comes in to play untaped, produces two colors of mana.

What's that Darksteel Ingot? You're able to add even more mana-fixing AND you're indestructible? At common? This card is obsolete, aside from the terrible puns...as pointed out by iamjohn.

Regardless of whether or not it is obsolete, it is still a decent card, yes there are better. Except for arguably one card, aren't all cards bettered by that "theoretical best card".
@mdakw576. "Almost strictly worst", now that sounds almost definitely like an oxymoron, probably.
I know I've ranted about this with other so-called bad cards, but this does not fall below the "dangerous to play" threshold that I use to judge a sub 2.5-2 card, you know like Thrashing Mudspawn. Not even close.
In a deck, this might as well be a manalith. Plus I don't think there was any better options when this came out, which you need to take into consideration when rating this card!

If you are playing Commander and have a GW deck, then this is better than some other artifacts. For example, if you had played Chromatic Lantern instead, an opponent could drop their Scuplting Steel or Phyrexian Metamorph and fix their mana off of your card. The counter-arguement is, of course, just blow their's up... but I think it would be more satisfying to use and older card with great art than to just min-max for the sake of winmore.

did my time, took my chances
went the distance
now I'm back on my feet
just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them alive
(chorus)
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
rising up to the challenge of our rival
and the last known survivor
stalks his prey in the night
and he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
hanging tough, staying hungry
they stack the odds
still we take to the street
for the kill with the skill to survive
(chorus)
Rising up, straight to the top
had the guts, got the glory
went the distance
now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
(chorus)
Eye of the tiger (Wait, what?)"
