I like myself an axe, but not in my deck.

@IRHennessy : shroud? A shroud creature can't be equipped... You're thinking of troll shroud

Might be playable in draft or limited but four mana is just bad for constructed, especially when it's just a vanilla power boost. Could have been interesting if it had an alternative equip condition (like Ronin Warclub or the tribal cycle eg Obsidian Battle-axe).

I wonder if it really is as bad as it looks...

Considering the amount of cards with trample/shroud/landwalk there are this card isn't COMPLETELY useless, but it's still crap. 2/5

@iondragonx
He's probably talking about killing a shrouded creature in combat that this would come in handy
As for the card, trusty machete is so much better for one less power, it costs two less to both play and equip

I often wonder about the rationale behind printing cards that no one in their right mind would ever use even in casual play. Thankfully, Wizards seem to be doing this less now, but you still get cards like this. As far as I know, the only cards like this in this core set are: Warlord's Axe, Armored Cancrix, Silvercoat Lion, Tireless Missionaries, Maritime Guard, Bog Raiders, Nether Horror, Rotting Legion, Berserkers of Blood Ridge, Canyon Minotaur, Dryad's Favor, and Runeclaw Bear. That's being fairly generous to a lot of underpowered cards and almost-vanilla creatures like Giant Spider, but still, 12 awful cards out of the entire set isn't bad compared to what's come before.

A terrible card, but can be useful in limited against someone whose blinding mages are locking you down and you have limited opportunity to do damage. plus, putting this on an augury owl is flavor explosion.
but yeah, the only equipment card i know if that is worse is Razor Boomerang.
