Looks uninspiring. I think this could be 3/3 or even 4/4.
Alex seems to think it would be challenging to get 3 or more artifacts in your graveyard. Having seen how nuts Undergrowth Scavenger can be, I wonder about that.
I will say, however, that there only appears to be 3 ways in set to reliably discard artifacts in your hand. And two of them are red (Two cycling artifacts in set, too. But that's a minor benefit on rare occasions, not a strategy.) So if the question was 'how hard is it in set to put 3 artifacts in the graveyard', I'd probably say, "Well, it ain't easy."
A typical Limited deck will have 12-15 creatures, and how many artifacts? Even in Mirrodin most decks had fewer creatures than artifacts. But okay, if this set is Mirrodin levels of artifact density then this is rather better. ...Checking, this set seems to have 90 artifacts in out of 249 cards, which is a rather huge number. So okay, this is going to be rather better than my initial reaction suggested.
