Awesome card. This was made for Spellbombs and baubles, but can be used effectively with capsules from Alara. It triggers whenever any creature is put into a graveyard. Say you kill 20 creatures with a Wrath of God, it untaps 20 times, which means you can get 20 artifacts back, or the same artifact back 20 times, sacrificing it between each of the untaps!

All the wrath of god kills happen at the same time. You only untap it when a creature is sent to the graveyard, and since it all happens at the same time with wrath of god, you only get to untap once.

Couldn't this be used nicely with March of the Machines? Anything with cc 1 then becomes a 1cc creature, so the baubles and whatnot untap it when they die.

I believe for simultaneous triggers the controller of the effect gets to order how they go on the stack. Don't quote me on that though, I haven't skimmed through the comprehensive rules since 2004.

No, wrath of god would make it trigger a bunch of times. But on another note, I know there's an infinite combo in there somewhere...
I think march of the machines, this, and ashnod's coupon would go infinite =)
"Get me 10 billion glasses of water, please!"
Or more seriously, march of the machines, this, and a lotus bloom/lotus petal/black lotus (of course, if ur running the lotus, u can get a lot better than that)
Or march, this, and chromatic star for infinite draw, or any other "egg".
You get the point.
Edit: I just realized u need a glorious anthem-type thing to keep most of those alive. The 0 cmc ones, that is.

Not sure quite how to break it yet, but i think this can probably somehow combo really nicely with Chimeric Mass
IIt will trigger exactly once each time its trigger condition is met. Since the trigger condition is "whenever a creature is put into the graveyard from play", then it will trigger once for each creature. Multiple creatures hitting the 'yard equals multiple triggers going on the stack, which will each resolve individually and may be responded to.
So yes, you could tap it in response to the first trigger, then let it resolve and untap, tap it again, let the next trigger resolve and untap, tap it a third time, let the next trigger resolve, etc., that's perfectly legal.
If you kill 10 creatures at the same time with Wrath of God, you can untap (and then tap again) 10 times.

March of the Machines turns every non-creature artifact with converted mana cost 0, into a 0/0. So the next time statebased actions are checked, that card will go into the graveyard.
So this, March and any card (Ancient Den) will go infinite. But note, you can't use abilities in respond so you will only have so many enter the battlefield/leave the battlefield triggers you want (of both artifact and creatures, and in this case lands).
Time for Martyr's Bond (doesn't work with lands btw)
Why do you need infinite life and mana when you can just combo the Salvaging Station with Flayer Husk and Grinding Station to infinitely mill all of your opponents?
If the 1-mana artifact you return has to tap to use its sacrifice ability, it can't be used right away unless you have a way to give it haste. Chromatic star will be a creature and so it will have summoning sickness.

Have creature: Blasting -> Salvaging -> Grinding -> Summoning -> Repeat
Have artifact: Grinding -> Summoning -> Blasting -> Salvaging -> Repeat
