How does this card not exist yet? It could probably be a 1/1.

It seems like Wizards has avoided printing this. Perhaps it's more powerful than we might think. They've had plenty of chances, after all.

I recall Dragon Blood was a pretty good source of inevitability in Limited games. This would be one heck of a lot better. (See also Forcemage Advocate.) I could see this with an activation cost of or .

okay for uncommon, i guess, but seems lot weaker than steel overseer

Uh.. yeah; wow, Steel Overseer seems really broken.

Except artifact creatures are typically way easier to destroy AND are already overcosted for their power (so you need at least one activation of that guy to make up for having to play artifact creatures in the first place)

Still - this shares the combat trick usage, so the only really scary thing it's got going for it is that it's in the colour of big stompy creatures. I still think it risks being a runaway bomb. A small activation cost seems reasonable, if that turns out to be the case.

If you like to play politics, Forcemage Advocate is better. B)

Yeah I could totally see the ability costing or even in addition to the tapping. My main point was that the effect is so simple (much simpler than the Advocate) and seems like a good uncommon design that I'm surprised it hasn't happened.
