+1/+1 and Vigilance, dropping on the table for 1? In the right deck, this is actually pretty damn sweet. Maybe the equip cost is a bit pricey to run in standard, but in modern I think it could find a place alongside other cheap equipments like O-Naginata. Puresteel Paladin enjoys stuff like this.
Needless to say, you'd need to run it in a Human/Angel deck, but that's why it's so cheap.

You guys are overlooking this card's true strength: sweet art. Seriously, I would love to have a set of those.

Didn't know angels would use this kind of cruel weapon.

The effect is simply too weak to be worth a card slot in my opinion. Still playable in limited, but unplayable everywhere else.

The art's incredible. Unfortunately that doesn't make the card not clunky.

people underrate equipment.
Remember, you do NOT have to pay both costs at once. AND, there are other ways to get stuff equipped, if I remember correctly.
granted, this card is quite cheap, but still. if you run a human/angel deck, this could come in handy.

Very underestimated. Its costs are the same as Trusty Machete, but nerfs the added power for vigilance, which is also a very underestimated ability. This looks gorgeous in foil,and I'm making a tribal human deck spiced up with equipment, using these as the base equipment.
Beastly in limited, too.

So this is a card. Not much more to be said; suffice to say, even in a Human/Angel deck I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a reason to include it.

Extremely bad card, even for common

I remember when an aura/creature enchant for 3 CMC that gave a +1/+1 pump and vigilance (we'll assume we're running a human/angel deck with this) wouldn't be called crap like it is here today. And then the enchants die when your creature does, and can't be moved around unless you had something like Crown of the Ages. Are we really that spoiled now?
Innistrad block gave all the human creatures from previous sets a relevant type, and this is one example if not a prominent one.
