When ~this~ comes into play, discard a card from your hand.
T, Sacrifice ~this~: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to play.

I have no attachment to this card, but I think it has strong possibilties in a format rife with artifacts. It's comparable to a mutated Trash for Treasure, costing 1 less but having summoning sickness and being a 1/1. I suppose the cc could be lowered to R and the activated ability could gain 1R or something, but I like the simplicity. The name and flavour text are just fillers.

Also, what rarity does this feel like? In Mirrodin block specifically? In any other block?

Rare all the way.

This is much more reuseable than Trash for Treasure--I like it.

Anyone got some flavour?

[KboT]

Maybe it should be a little more unique, maybe something they may want people to use it over welder.

When ~this~ comes into play, discard a card from your hand or sacrifice an artifact in play.

Seems a bit better. Maybe even he should be able to be played as an instant?

Just some suggestions,

timmeh?  Like Timmy!  Sounds like Timmy from South Park.  Mebby change the name.

I just want this closed so I can start something new, but if I have to...

24 hours.

[Jacob Orlove]

This definitely needs a better name.

The name always was just a place-holder, but nothing popped out at me, so it's just stayed the same. How about... Goblin Welder? Damn, taken...

I'd like a name that expresses the difference between this and Goblin Welder. The way I see it, Goblin Welder is more mechanically apt, whereas Timmeh Welder approaches artifact's from a shamanistic viewpoint. That is, he doesn't understand their power, yet worships them.

But nothing pops out at me, as I said.
