Yes, it's called Creeping Corrosion :-p
Wow, that's quite a cost there. Is it really that prone to becoming a lock that it needs to be a 3-drop as well?
GG1 instead of U3? OUCH!
That's what I thought, but I thought it was maybe easier to read without (since most players don't realise "up to" isn't automatic, although admittedly many players with good but not excellent rules knowledge may not get it) although on reflection, it may not be and you were right the first time.
Or "Sacrifice any number of artifacts. Search your library for at most one more artifact card and..." although I don't think that's any better either.
Oh, I like it. An extra small reward for keeping back the mana to regenerate it.
It still has that niggly third word in it...
Shatterstrom is back! Hoorah!
The flavourtext really makes me curious about the setting. Nice.
The rules don't require it, but it's usually added for clarity. In any library search that's restricted (such as "artifact card" or "basic land card" rather than just "card"), you can always choose not to find what you're looking for.
I prefer the one on the card. Or perhaps sacrifice any number of artifacts, then search your library for that many artifacts and one more...."?
(Do the rules require "up to" for library searching?)
In the common cycle of power sinks - see Venting Pipewalker.

I like the flavour of the cycle :)
There's a common cycle of artifacts which sink one type of power without sourcing it, but are still some use without that power. Others are Pneumatic Syringes for [Chemical], Irrigation Spraywheel for [Torque], Malignant Buzzer for [Radiation] and Voltaic Shamble Engine for [Electrical].
This is the set's Darksteel Ingot variant, implemented as something like a Fertile Ground. It's in the power sinks cycle as described on Venting Pipewalker, and effectively makes "[Torque]: Add two mana of almost any colour to your mana pool".

Alternate wording that accomplishes the same thing, more wordily but without the confusing X:
As an additional cost to cast ~, you may sacrifice any number of artifacts. Search your library for an artifact card, and for an additional artifact card for each artifact sacrificed in this way. Reveal those cards and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
I think the one I've got on the card is better, but comments welcome.
