Wow, I would say "interesting tension" but it's really not. That first ability, powerful through it would normally be, is just completely shadowed by the second one. Permanently steal a creature every turn? For a mana-cost that you must have because you could cast this in the first place? (Though it IS nice that this kinda sorta costs 6 to activate if you squint; which is a much fairer cost.)
And it's not even coloured? Why wouldn't I run this in every single deck ever? Probably 3-of because it does, after all, cost 5. I mean, unless oyu're in an alpha-like environment where creatures don't really exist?
On the other side - I 'unno about gilded lotus. It IS stonkingly nice and powerful in the right place. But mnana-acceleration when you already got to 5 mana is a bit niche. And it only colour-fixes a single colour, so you can't even really say "Hey, it's my colour source in a pure-artifact deck".
Anyway; if this exists, maindeck disenchant. Or, for even greater amusement, Animate Artifact and one of your own :)
