Mox Opal, Plains, Quest for the Holy Relic, Memnite, Ornithopter, use Mox Opal to play Glint Hawk bouncing Mox Opal, second Glint Hawk bouncing Memnite & replaying, Equip this to Ornithopter.
Essentially a first turn win?

Obscene mana investment. It's only really useful if it can be cheated in an equipment-based deck, or in a fairly slow casual playgroup. If you do manage to find a way to put it on a creature, God help your enemies.
Especially if you decide to put it on Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Along with all three elemental swords. And Worldslayer. Since you'll automatically win when it lands, you might as well take everything with it.
...OK, all that is ridiculously hard to do, massive overkill, and only a terrible deck would have all those cards in it. But big cards like this make me wonder.

It is unfortunate this card costs so much more than any other of the Swords in the block format. While this is a powerful bomb in Limited, it cost makes it prohibitive in constructed. In a Control Deck, if this gets out, the deck is probably already is in a winning position. In an Aggro deck, the game is already won before you can even cast this. This effectively regulates a rather descent card into nitch decks after the removal of Stoneforge Mystic later in the Standard 2011 season.
It's still a very good card, though, and decks that can get past the mana curve issue are bound to find it a useful card to supplement a removal strategy.

Did anyone ever thought of using this with Darksteel Creatures?

Way too expensive... If it was +4/+4 with the same destruction for 4 colourless, that would be way more playable imo.

In the end, it will end up as a junk rare. Without having a combo for it, you pay 12!!! mana for a vindicate. And if you have bad luck, the creature you play it on will just be destroyed, and you can play another 6 mana later to try it with another creature. And if you run out of creatures this is completly worthless anyway.
Yes, with a stonehewer giant it's good, but most of the time it will suck. The only place where I will see myself playing this is in slow EDH/Commander decks, where I play with colors that can't deal with certain permanents (ie put it in a black or red deck to have something that can deal with enchantments).
Limited 3/5
Constructed 1/5

I probably won't take it as my 1st pick in 1st booster. So we have unique rare equipment in that aspect. No, seriously it costs too much for what it does.
