Tezz will love it, as you can make an expendable and VERY hard to remove artifact dude a 5/5 and not worry about losing it.
Other decks? Eh....maybe puresteel paladin, or perhaps if you're using a GA deck(riddlesmith means heyo, card filtering to find combo pieces), but otherwise it's pretty situational. Wish it did SOMETHING though so I could justify sticking it into a WW metalcraft deck.
Is it worth the slot in your deck simply for enabling Metalcraft though?
If you have.
Puresteel paladin
Mox Opals
Dispense Justice
Dispatch
I'd say that having a hard to get rid of artifact isn't a bad thing to have, especially if it makes having metalcraft THAT much more consistent (also, I see this sticking in place of ornithopter if we don't see it in the core set)
Artifact (U)
Darksteel Relic is indestructible.
So... what uses are there for this card? The only one that really comes to mind is Phylactery Lich

Yea, it definitely fits in the flavor of the set and I like how it encourages players to find a use for it. I'm not sure what that use would be though
Good point but isn't Orthinopter or Memnite better?
it might. all depends on your situation really.
