Chimeric artifacts' only real use was in decks which regularly wiped the board clean. Wrath of God, DeathCloud or Pox, Evacuation.
Maybe, just maybe, this and Jade Statue are coming back to fill a need for activatable men in a weissman-style control deck featuring Wrath.
Also, maybe WOTC wants us to think this, and is actually pulling Wrath from the core set, replacing it with substandard jank like Final Judgment (gasp!)
Sadly, with the exception of maybe Chimeric Idol, activated artifact men just don't do well in Limited formats, which is where I see Core Set going.

Chimeric Staff is reprintable.. And I agree. Chimeric Staff would be a MUCH better reprint in the core set.. MUCH BETTER.
I loved that card.

What are you even talking about here?
