Put in a bowl with a Worldknit, apply water, and mix for a strong creature and a Chromatic Lamp. ;)

Oh man, I love this card.
If there's one thing I've learned from years of drafting, it's that making all your "dead" or "hate" picks into something useful is EXTREMELY powerful.

Honestly, I'll be glad to get him up to a 6/6. He's solid, for sure. He's even more fun if you get two. After all, it is cards NAMED Cogwork Grinder.

I'm surprised this card doesn't have trample. A vanilla fatty for six mana is pretty bad, especially as a rare. The only card that makes this worth it is worldknit.

When I first saw Worldknit, I though it wouldnt be good due to the limitations, then I saw this guy. SO. GOOD. Talk about the ultimate D draft... "not only can you not have this card, NO ONE CAN, EVER!" Plus if you draft another later in the draft, he is just as beefy as the first. Colorless so he can go in any deck, even if we remove a few picks he will be worth it. I mean, of the normal cards drafted, how many are on-color and playable? This guy turns the crap into beef. I like it.

Only downside with him, and the set in general, is the amount of trust it takes. I mean, These cards are not in your pool at all. No sideboarding them. Get a good group of honest people, or at least one burly dude that can keep the others straight. Conspiracy is very reliant on honesty, so hopefully your play group has plenty.

"The only card that makes this worth it is worldknit." - How many drafts have you been at where you pick 100% playable cards? Every pick of every pack is going into your deck? Pending this guy is an early enough pick, he turns unplayable picks into a big dude. I totally disagree with your assessment here.
