Rationale
Tony Stark front face is a cheap artifact-tutor/sifter who can transform into The Invincible Iron Man — a 5/5 flying haste legendary that cheats an artifact (auto-equipping Equipment) into play every combat. The bundle is a premier artifact-matters and equipment-voltron card: Tony tutors the best artifact, then Iron Man deploys it for free. Signature in artifact-matters and equipment-voltron; the free-Equipment-attach trigger is uniquely powerful in Izzet equipment builds.
Learnings (3)
Tony Stark transforms via his own activated ability at sorcery speed for {4}{U}{R} — this is separate from any other transform mechanic and means he needs to survive a full turn cycle before becoming Iron Man.

The Invincible Iron Man's combat trigger lets you put ANY artifact from hand onto the battlefield for free, not just Equipment — high-cost artifact bombs like Blightsteel Colossus or Darksteel Forge can be cheated in at no mana cost.

Because Tony Stark's loot ability puts unchosen cards on the BOTTOM in a random order (not any order), he pairs unusually well with shuffle effects but doesn't set up the top of the library for future draws.
