Panharmonicon
 
If you go over to Gatherer, you'll see that Panharmonicon already has a whole bunch of rulings about its operation. I think that's a little funny, because it's such a simple card at heart. There are surprisingly few creatures with comes-into-play abilities that can't be used somewhere - it's a little overkill for competitive Magic, but in casual and multiplayer settings, a Panharmonicon can put you far ahead of other people's defenses and ahead of EDH's characteristic big plays. I never thought there would be any way to make Terastodon more scary, but that's not even the most impressive thing about this card: Panharmonicon isn't legendary.

This is...interesting. It's a giga-Strionic Resonator, causing abilities to trigger multiple times. Think along the lines of extra life gain off of Soul Warden and its brethren, extra Purphoros damage triggers, and all that. The possibilities are endless with this card, which makes it promising.
 
The downside, of course, is that it's attached to a four mana artifact with no impact on the board state, outside of maybe what it triggers entering play. I can see this being part of a degenerate combo somewhere, but I think this really needs a carefully-tuned shell to work.
