Quick! There's not enough equipment in this set, throw in a super bland one! Though honestly, even the bland aspects of design need to be explored. And the flavor is still good.

Missed opportunity. This could have been a counterpart to Trusty Machete, and thus much better.

For those of you that don't think hexproof is worth an extra mana.

A card named riot gear could have been so much better.

I agree w/Tiggurix...this really should have cost 1 to drop, 2 to equip.

well yeah, this is lame... but during limited, if I get a high priest of penance, this will be on him, lickity-split

And Wizards said, "Since this isn't the plane of metalworkers, artifacts and blacksmiths, let's just make it just slightly worse than Vulshok Morningstar", and there was mediocrity.

@Ferlord I wouldn't call cutting the power boost by half "just slightly worse", though. I'd go with what Tiggurix said:

"Missed opportunity. This could have been a counterpart to Trusty Machete, and thus much better."

Vulshock Morningstar was so backbreakingly good. This is perfectly fair. I'd play one in any creature-based draft deck for sure.

"Gentlemen! I have a plan!"
"Okay, I'm listening..."
"We shall make a crappier version of Vulshok Morningstar!"
"...Who are you and how did you get into our development meeting?"
