Busdude is right. Power boosting on this blade is unreliable, and mill is double edged sword in innistrad limited. Oh, and it doesn't work on defense. So both Butcher's cleaver and Silver-inlaid dagger are better picks in draft. And SoM block swords are vastly superior to it in constructed.
Don't get me wrong, blade is fun card, just not high pick in draft.

I believe this is the first equipment in Magic that might deserve the nickname 'Vorpal Sword'.
Going 'snicker snack' is now a new game term. 'Snicker Snaking' refers to both 'ping milling', as seen here and many other places in Innistrad. (It's a big ping, but it's not a combos-with-self, so it's still ping)
Snicker Snaking could also refer to using Ashnod's Coupon on a Snickers McFlurry.

@GrandAdmiralThrawn89:
Unfortunately no, because they're not put into the graveyard until the effect finishes resolving. Until they're put in the graveyard they are still in the library, only they're revealed. The equipped creature gets pumped, and then everything is put into the graveyard. Furthermore, Guile's ability is a triggered ability, so it doesn't even go onto the stack until Trepanation Blade's ability finishes.
If Trepanation Blade read:
"Whenever equipped creature attacks, defending player puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard until he or she puts a land card into the graveyard this way. Equipped creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn for each card put into the graveyard this way."
it would be a lot more interesting with cards like Progenitus and Darksteel Colossus/Blightsteel Colossus, since they would be shuffled back i... (see all)

4.5? Fail card evaluation.
This card is terrible, 5 mana for what could easily turn out to be just a meager +1/+0 bonus, and will average to be about +3/+0. Oh and mill some flashback cards into their graveyard while you're at it.
No way would Caw-Blade play this.

It's not as bad as it seems...it guarantees your opponent's next draw is a land, which could be completely useless mid-game (instead of being a game-changer). Yes, it's unreliable, but it still has its uses.

I hate this card and I hate whoever made it.
Thanks for sucking more fun out of MTG.
Not only is it incredibly destructive and cheap, it breaks your opponents deck and reveals their entire strategy... dishonorable and embarrassing. You'll love it if you're an A$$hole.

This thing slapped my friend in the face for fourteen. He had three mana available at the time, so I would have won anyway, lol.
