Ghirapur Gearcrafter enters and immediately puts two bodies on the board — a 1/1 and a 1/1 Thopter with flying — for three mana. That's acceptable rate in token and artifact synergy decks, and a dead card everywhere else.

Ghirapur Gearcrafter is a bulk common, and that's exactly where it lives. In Commander, it earns a slot only under artifact-token payoffs like Breya, Etherium Shaper or Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, where the flying Thopter matters more than the vanilla 1/1. Pauper is its most competitive home — token and artifact synergies at common rarity are real, and two bodies for three mana clears the bar. In Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Vintage, three mana for a split 1/1 and 1/1 flier is far below rate and sees no play.

Pricing data isn't available for Ghirapur Gearcrafter at the moment, but as a common with narrow application it reliably sits in bulk territory — expect under $0.25 in most stores. It's worth picking up only if you're actively building around it; there's no scarcity argument here.
