Can you reduce Equip cost to 0 with this guy? Let's say I got a Basilisk Collar ( Equip 2 ) and 2 Auriok Steelshaper, can I equip the collar for 0 ?

I wonder if Knights ever become good enough if the Steelshaper'd be worth including.

If you hand him a Runed Stalactite, does he become a 4/4? 1/1 w/ +1/1 from equipment, and +2/2 from being both a soldier and a knight, if you were wondering.

@ Gwafa Hazid:
No he'd just be a 3/3. He gives +1/+1 to soldiers and knights but that doesn't mean he'd give +2/+2 to soldier knights.
Wasn't this guy dirt cheap before the new knight lord came out. Drat

@jstarfiret:
First, the steelshaper also pumps soldiers, and I think soldiers are good enough.
Second, knights have always been good on their curve. There are even 2 drop pumpable first striking knights. That's good stuff! They are always 2/2s for 2 or so with at least 2 abilities.
Third, he lowers equip costs, this makes him a johnny card as well as you can perform certain infinite combos with it.

Puresteel Paladin, Leonin Shikari, Kor Duelist, etc. are ALL soldiers/knights, not to mention this is one of those rare creatures with a REFLEXIVE buff (effects himself as well, ie no "other").
His ability works early game until a Puresteel's effect kicks in and always serves as a just-in-case backup.
Definitely a must-have in any vintage equip deck just for the pure synergy. With a T1 equipment, this guy can have a cheap equipment on him as early as T2, which is all he needs for the rest of the game.
Also works well in a soldier deck or a knight deck that's running a small handful of equipments, but is less viable.
