this card is the backbone of any modular sunburst or just plain ol' artifact deck. prettymuch every card in the sunburst theme deck can be boosted by this card. having 4 in your library is just plain evil.

I have three or four of these in my scarecrow deck, and they work wonders, especially in conjunction with Wicker Warcrawler and Cauldron of Souls. I made a 12/15 Painter's Servant with these stupid things once.
This card is great! If you are playing a modular deck, it is your best friend. I need say no more. It provides the best reason to use cards with Sunburst; they tend to have abilities activated by removing +1/+1 counters, and this can, for example, keep your Suncrusher an 8/8 while you kill creatures with it, and you'll still be ready to romp-a-domp with it when all the opposing creatures are gone. Also good for beefing up weak 1/1 artifact creatures early on to gain an advantage. Even in a non-modular deck, this can make your pathetic turn-1 drops into beatsticks over time, since your opponent's creatures DON'T grow. Fantastic.
Triskelion called, he feels left out of this discussion.

This car also works wonder in Simic deck where +1/+1 counter adds a lot of control to the board.
@ Belz_ : You restrict your creativity by thinking that Simic decks can ONLY use G/U creatures.

It's great that it doesn't have to be your creature. This means you can hijack any non-shrouded/hexproofed creature on the board with Cytoplast Manipulator and Liquimetal Coating if the creature you want isn't an artifact.
You can even steal a noncreature artifact this way with Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, and then it's a 6/6 in addition to whatever it normally is.

Deathbringer Thoctar isn't an artifact creature.
Try Darksteel Reactor + Paradox Haze for some quick wins.
Simic cards aren't artifacts.
