W, t, Sacrifice an artifact: Search your library for an artifact card whose mana value is equal to the mana value of the sacrificed artifact plus 1 and put it onto the battlefield tapped. Then shuffle. Activate only as a sorcery.

Goblin Welder has a new friend. Obviously this is most powerful in an artifact themed cube, but I thought it was worth making a thread based on raw power alone. I would certainly play this card.
I do recognize that a lot of cubes won't be able to create the kind of chain of artifacts to make this work. The more colored artifacts you play, the better. Also, being able to sacrifice clues, food, and treasures for 1 drops is sweet.
It's Birthing Pod for artifacts.
Unfortunately, artifacts don't tend to have as much etb and persist shenanigens as creatures do, so I think this will be a lot weaker than Birthing Pod, which itself is not good enough to make the cut in many or even most cubes.
As a result, I think this is too narrow and a pass.
