What's so "Magebane" about it?

Note: Vinifera, preventing combat damage isn't something that is specifically against mages. That sounds more like a divine protection a deity would bless a patron with. Mages use spells, so I would think that if something is a bane to mages, it'd have shroud and allow you to fly so you you can actually be on par with those pesky, evasive mages.

There's so little I like about this card. It's +2/+4, which is obviously a solid increase, but losing flying is a healthy drawback that limits it's deployment. Secondly, if it's magebane, why is it preventing damage? Magebane implies that it should assist in killing mages, but it doesn't prevent kills, removal, or negative enchantments. This should have been enemy-shroud ("Cannot be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control") rather than damage prevention, to fit the name. My biggest complaint, however, is that it's rare. There's no way that this is a rare powerlevel card, in my opinion-- especially when commons and uncommons are the backbone of this set, as there's many commons or uncommons that I would unequivocally prefer to pull out of a pack over this. The only thing that puts it remotely in rare territory is the P/T boost, which makes it feel like a trumped-up uncommon rather than a unique rare. Seriously-- search for rare equipment in Standard and decide for yours... (see all)

If it had been called "MEGAbane Armor" it would have been good.

Throwing a couple into my Goblin Equipment deck. You can't argue with that equip cost.

This + Predatory Urge would work really well. A relatively unkillable reusable creature killer.

It's not terrible - but the issue is that the extra ability is meaningless against, I dare say, the majority of decks. So you're looking at an equipment at rare that only adds +2/+4 and takes away flying.
There are much better options.
