diligent farmhand picks the sword, kill himself and boom, hello Progenitus holding the sword in a mouth

I wonder if this could work as a means of dissuading your opponent from killing the wielder too early--do they REALLY want to risk finding out what powerful creature, or creature with a powerful EtB effect, you have lurking in your hand? (If dissuasion even HAS a place in tournament play, anyway...)
At the very least, I'm thinking of Twilight Shepherd here. Free 7/7 vigilant flier AND the slain previous wielder can be recast. (Says something about me that most other people were thinking "cheat out a Timmy-slanted creature", while I'm thinking "cheat out a powerful EtB"...)

I like this card. I have fun ide's about putting it in as back up in a deck with Recurring Nightmare + Victimize + a bunch of fatties (titans, spirit dragons, Wurmcoil Engine etc.). If I'm already sacrificing creatures to get more creatures, why not use this to get even MORE creatures! =D

Put Ashnod's Altar on the field with a bunch of one drops, then drop Deathrender, sac the first one drop to equip Deathrender to the second. Each one drop will pay for equipping Deathrender to the next and you can empty every creature in your hand onto the field. This is viable turn 4:
Turn 1: Choice of one drop.
Turn 2: Ashnod's Altar, sac one drop -> myr of choice...maybe Iron Myr?
Turn 3: Deathrender.
Turn 4: 2 One Drops, Equip Deathrender, sac one drop -> creature of choice + Deathrender on another one drop, sac next one drop -> creature of choice + Deathrender on myr, sac myr -> creature of choice + 2 free mana, 2 free colorless -> ...Dimir Signet? :D
That's 3 free creatures on turn 4. It's unlikely to come together this fast, but it can happen.
Works great in EDH with Pathrazer of Ulamog when Thraximundar is your commander, drop a ton of stuff onto the field using the abo... (see all)

I just had a thought with this thing. I run a black/white/red deck for casual play. Put this thing down on anything; play Merciless Eviction; drop Avacyn, Angel of Hope or any game-winning creature; laugh maniacally. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn would really hurt with something like this.

Just awesome. Better practice your poker face, because when you're swinging with an equipped combat-damage-nightmare like Master of Cruelties, and you've got a big hand...

I think this card and Yomiji, Who Bars the Way forms an infinite loop with another legendary creature and a sac outlet.

So here's an actual situation from a game I played with a friend that needs some more in-depth explanation...
First off, I do understand these abilities would in fact go on the stack, but I am still unsure if the abilities would trigger in the proper order to pull off this tactic.
He has on his field Creature A (his bomb card) already equipped with Deathrender, Creature B (something weak and irrelevant), Golgari Guildmage, and 5 untapped lands.
I have on my field 3 untapped lands.
- He attacks with Creature A, his bomb card
- I counter with Murder to kill it during the declare attackers step
- As soon as his Creature A hits the graveyard, he activates the first ability of the Golgari Guildmage by sacrificing Creature B to return Creature A to his hand, playing it immediately due to he triggered ability of Deathrender allowing him to play this creature from his hand pretty much upon death.
I argue that Deathrender's triggered ability to play a creature from your hand would activate ... (see all)
