I'll take bonesplitter over this all the time. It is just too expensive for the effect.
The first equip costs 4 more than the bonesplitter, and you get four abilities for it.
The only ability worth that mana is trample. For the other three, I would give them each up for one mana less for either the equip or casting cost.
Haste? Really? It is ridiculous to think about paying over the cost of the creature to make use of that. Are you made of mana? If so play something more exciting!
I love big splashy cards but the outrageous cost of this kills the excitement. I just couldn't justify taking up an entire slot in my decks for this.

At prerelease this card, an Æther Adept, and a Doom Blade almost won me a game by themselves.

Don't let Grimgrin, Corpse Born equip this sword. Trample and Vigilance on him = Jason Voorhees

Personally, I've beaten more people with this and the Emrakul, the Aeons Torn combo than anything else.
1. You summon Emrakul.
2. You equip Sword of Vengeance to Emrakul.
3.Attack, and watch your opponent despair.
4.Attack, and watch your opponent lose.

@tedkang3582: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a combo unto itself. Annihilate 6 will crush your opponent.
I do agree that Flying chumps are annoying for a turn or 2, but not much longer. They've gotta have a wrath right there or lose the game, because they'll be outta mana.
However, Vigilance IS a criminally underrated mechanic.
