Well someone ought to. We've got our first 3.5 cards!
An interesting sweeper. That free spell is obviously powerful, but the difference between 3 to each creature and 4 (Languish) is too.
It's trinket mage, but it searches for something that costs exactly 3. I suppose 0-1 was narrow enough as it is, but 3 seems a bit more do-able, if only because your deck is expected to have more 3s than 1s.
3/2 for 3, when it or an artifact you control dies, you can regrow an artifact that costs less. A solid beater, and there's some real combo potential with basically any sac outlet. I love that they didn't make this an 0/3 or something.
And here's why I said 3.5
It's, and has this text:
When Quicksmith Rebel enters the battlefield target artifact you control gains: "tap: this artifact deals -x- damage to target creature or player/planeswalker" for as long as you control QR.
No idea of P/T, or what X means. Not loving this one. Maybe if there's just enough artifacts in your cube that this is pretty consistently FTK (This also relies on the X being somewhat large, like # of artifacts you control or artifact CMC or something else unrelated), but given modern set design, this doesn't look like it's going to be doing a lot of damage, since it's been a long time since we've seen Visara the dreadful type creatures.
