Sadly, it won't often win the game by itself. 7 Mana and no evasion.

You'd be way better off with just nim lasher and using all that extra mana to equip it and make up for the worse stats.

It's like a 3/6 with a built in Cranial Plating!

It made me sad that Cranial Plating could make a creature this anytime and any number of times it wants, for the low cost of 2 + 1 per. And this is a 10/6.

His name says it all. "Grotesque"
I'd like to see him in vintage though.
Turn 1 Tolarian academy, mox mox mox mox mox, this guy. Attack as a 8/6 turn two XD

Considering your lands will be artifacts and you'll have had 6 prior turns to lay down many other artifacts, the lowest this will likely be is a 10/6. With the mana myr, you can pull this out turn 4 (although that'd be just about all you've played). Still, a turn 4 10/6 is nothing to scoff at.

Too overcosted... period. The 3/6 body is ok, with a somewhat useful ability, but really, in Mirrodin playing this card is just silly, when you can play Arcbound Ravager and kill on turn 3 or 4. I won't even get into Affinity or Skullclamp decks.

Mirrodin block is known for some broken cards, and sadly, the common cards like this tend to suffer as a result =(
