and here I thought No-Dachi was below the curve.

For that price, I at least want a 3/0 germ token out of the deal...

...I can't help but feel if there was some sort of error in R&D's list of approved cards.

I think "Great" is an overstatement. Then again, "Mediocreatbestandonlyslightlyplayableinlimitedifyouhavenootheroptionssword" just doesn't roll off of the tongue quite as well.

I feel like this probably could have been CMC 2 and would have been more playable in limited. It still wouldn't have been as strong as Bonesplitter or Trusty Machete were in their respective sets.... a No-Dachi without the first-strike seems balanced enough for limited....
As it sits, this Greatsword is just a bit too slow for most limited formats.... I was looking for a nice, balanced piece of equipment to include in my peasant cube that wouldn't be too powerful for the format, and I wanted for this to be it... but alas, it was not what I was hoping for....
Props to the artist, though... that's some ridiculously amazing art.

Actually the bonus of this card is quite good. +3/0 will make most small critters trade for dragons and beast and other massive creatures. This card's main drawback because of this is its cost. The comparisons are obvious. It's a much, much worse version of the vulshock battlegear and the loxodon warhammer and it doesn't scale well to the bonesplitter.
All of those equipments are generally considered a little bit too good . This is closer to what those's power level should have been.
It didn't have a home in limited and it's too weak for constructed. This was the sideboard card for limited decks that ended up getting in a grind and had to break the balance. If the cost doesn't matter(i.e. in a grind), this is a decent card.

So what can I say that's good about this card?
Uhhhh... At 5 cents each They make great tokens!
Iiiiii bet if you threw 60 of them at somebody it'd probably kinda hurt. Maybe.
You could lull your opponents into a false sense of security by making this your first 3 drop! Yeah... Psychological games!
Uhhh...
Have they ever made a card with the text "destroy any card with more than a 1.5 rating on gatherer"? Cause that'd be awesome.
