This is kind of what I was thinking for them to release as an Aetherborn Commander. I designed the card in mtgcardsmith (the image is by Jaden Lingerfelt, not my design, but I am a terrible artist). The card text got cut off a bit, but is as follows :
Lifelink, Deathtouch,
Fabricate 3
Sacrifice an artifact: Target Aetherborn gains flying until end of turn.
Whenever an artifact or creature is sacrificed, put a +1/+1 counter on each Aetherborn creature you control.
Whenever an Aetherborn creature you control dies, lose 1 life and draw a card.—
