Wow. Cra-zee-pants. Like Etherium Sculptor and Grand Architect had some sort of beautiful baby. I'm not sure what or if enables anything particularly awesome in Modern or Legacy (I doubt it), but he is absolutely made of awesome in EDH and casual.

Better get the water and the Miracle Gro, cause that's the most obvious PLANT card I've seen.
Nope, Khans is pretty clearly not artifact based. This is partially just a good flavor design to take advantage of convoke while it's here, and also plays into UR's artifact theme, which is just one of the five enemy paired themes inserted for limited depth.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
This is insane, and awesome! Convoke is a relatively fair mechanic, due to tapping out with it, at least until you bring in things like vigilance or mass untapping spells. If we get some monster artifact creatures in Standard that are good immediately (unlike the colossus and soul, which need their abilities to be activated to be worthwhile) this guy could be the cornerstone of a deck.
I get the feeling he really wants to be played with some of those thopter token and myr token generator cards in some formats.
Affinity doesn't need him, most of their stuff is cheap enough anyway. Same for Tempered Steel.
In standard, he makes Soul of New Phyrexia better. Could find a home in Mono-Blue Devotion, enabling a really fast Obelisk of Urd to prevent Master of Waves-less blowouts.
I want to find a combo in Modern with him and Intruder Alarm.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
Not sure if Double Convoke is redondant for Obelisk of Urd.
Anyway. Cool artifact to cast with convoke : Colosus of Akros, Soul of Phyrexia, Phyrexian Revoker, Volatile Rig
Cool UG Creature to help Engineer : Prophet of Kruphix, Kruphix God.
Telling it now UG Artifact Painland will be a thing next Standard.

Unfortunately Colossus of Akros isn't that useful without enough actual mana to use the ability. Still, this is an awesome card.
I somehow find it tragic when an attacking Traveling Philosopher gets blocked by another Traveling Philosopher, which normally results in two dead philosophers. Shouldn't they just sit aside and start discussing?
"This is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I'm quite dizzy with anticipation . . . Or is it the wind? There really is a lot of that now, isn't there? And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming toward me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like . . . ow . . . ound . . . round . . . ground! That's it! That's a good name- ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? Hello Ground!"
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the Sprouting Phytohydra as it fell was Oh no, not again.

Actually, artifacts is the U/R draft archetype in M15.

I think the great thing is that they actually work pretty well together.

Nah. Blue artifacts almost always gets some support.
Great card, by the way. Early Soul of Phyrexia in Blue Devotion could be a thing.

Yes.
You can't tap a creature twice any more than you can tap a land twice.

Storm Crow is strictly worse than Seacoast Drake.
heartless summoning too probably
702.50b Multiple instances of convoke on the same spell are redundant.
