It used to be common....
I like to throw those on a Loxodon Punisher.

The biggest issue with this card is that it's fair. Nobody uses fair cards. Why would you use Grizzly Bears when you can use Nest Invader? Why would you use this if you can use Bonesplitter?

Meh, somewhat useful if you give it to an Auriok Steelshaper to activate it's buff while keeping it tough enough to survive combat. Bonesplitter can activate its buff, but it won't save it's posterior.

Well... it's not bad ... it actually allows Auriok Glaivemaster and Kitesail Apprentice to survive Staggershock, although sacrificing 1 point of power compared to Bonesplitter in order to do so.
Bonesplitter is better than Scimitar when dealing with regular creature decks, however the Scimitar might actually be the better choice when dealing with things like Disfigure and burn spells.
My final verdict is that this card is under-appreciated. If you're playing some form of aggressive mono white equipment deck with Kor Duelist, Kitesail Apprentice, Auriok Glaivemaster and perhaps Armament Master, the Scimitar can actually be quite useful, even alongside Bonesplitter.
3.5/5

Maybe...
Alright:
Turn 1: Plains, Kitesail Apprentice
Turn 2: Plains, Put down scimitar and equip it
You now have a 3/3 flying turn 2.

This is almost as bizarre a rarity jump as Dragon Engine.

Phyrexia obsoleted this with Flayer Husk. Play that instead.
