The Master Craftsman is an Equipment generating machine. Place an equip of your choice on him and he will start making free copies of it for friend or foe. Place a positive equip on him, like Rejuvenation Ring, and most of your champs will gain a copy of it eventually. Place a negative equip on him, like Withering Fern, and watch as numerous opposing units feel its effects. He's got Pilfer to possibly steal an opposing Equip and Impenetrable so that he, once equipped, can not easily be disarmed.
Do you think his single purpose focus will be enough to counter the abusability of his main ability? imagine this thing replicating horns of orders, keeneye crowns or draketooth rifles.
That's the question to ask. He has a very narrow focus but he does his thing well. If he were created and ended up being too good, he could easily lose Impenetrable so that it would be easier to use Shatter on him. Also, slapping a strong equip on him at least makes it more predictable (i.e. you know every three rounds someone else is getting Horn of Order). Overall, I'd say there could be ways to balance his abusable nature but I think he could make some interesting decks!
