How greedy can you guys possibly be? You get a playable card, and all you say is that 4 mana to equip is too much.
Ok, so it isn't a Sword of Body and Mind, but that's a mythic rare, while this is merely an uncommon.
It's also not playable in constructed, but then again, so is 80% of the other cards in this set. You have to remember when evaluating cards that most of the commons and uncommons aren't intended for constructed play, and are geared for limited. (Draft or sealed) In that respect, if this creature costed less to play or equip, it would have resulted in a raise in rarity, because it would become too good for uncommon.
Giant spider is a quite playable creature in limited. And a colorless creature for one more isn't that bad. Add in a 4 costing equip that makes your creature more powerful and much, much harder to kill makes for a pretty good card.

I think the reason so many of these guy's equip costs are so high is because they're almost playable creatures even if they weren't equipment as well.
I mean, completely by itself, it's a colorless Giant Spider at the cost of 1 more mana. That's good.
The fact that it's still a live card after the underlying creature is destroyed is just gravy.

Everyone used flying creatures in the prerelease. Two of these helped me get to third place, expandable chumps that don't care about Infect or anything really.
Other then that I agree: rather lack luster card.

Needs a seriously lower equip cost. I'm ok with a 
casting cost but, seriously? A 
equip cost?

'Living Weapon' is a great Idea with huge potential.
Yet they print this crap and thus put the whole 'Living Weapon' Cards into the trash bin.

This was insane in limited, but a second look proves it sucks.

dose the germ survive long enough to get the equipment attached to it or do you have to use something like Leyline of Vitality for Living weapon to work.

You can make Living Weapon work better if you only try to make colorless mana. However, you can't do that in standard....
