Keep in mind, everyone that Infinity Elemental has a CMC of 7. As such, a cost around 5-6 seems appropriate for this, though the exact cost depends on the setting. An un-set card can be expected to have low price (even though this is a card that heavily incentivizes owners to attempt "buy-outs" for power reasons) but a holiday promo based on rass commercialism could expect a price between $20-40 so how this card would be released is also a factor.
Oh boy, and the Judge promo would be like an 80/80 for 3
Actually this is totally printable - this is a textbook silver-bordered card
(the following assumes this is printed as a not silver bordered card)
The issue is that, as cost will fluxuate, it will either become broken or unplayable over time: If N is even slightly too high initially, the value will drop until it is always a 0/0 because people don't want it and will continue not to buy it.
If it is under-costed, its value will continue to climb, creating more demand and further increasing the price. Power/toughness will increase exponentially until banned.
3 is probably the sweet spot, as 4 for a vanilla artifact creature that doesn't do anything on etb is not great, even if its a 5/5 or 6/6. Even then, at rare there would probably be enough supply to keep it below $5 so this would need to be mythic to have a shot at getting played. The key, though, is it has to enter the format selling at 5 or better because a 4/4 for 3 won't see widespread play and thus the spiral will begin.
