I love this because it's basically Thor's Hammer Mjolnir as a magic card. You throw it and it shoots lightning bolts!

People, You are missing the point here. The real way to use it is...
Opponent: I cast "insert threatening game changeing card here".
You: I unattach sunforger. Double Negative.
Opponent: I Scoop.
It gets funnier with Wheel of Sun and Moon tossing your counters back in for you and Auriok Windwalker giving you free instant equips.

Puresteel Paladin's weapon of choice
Also, Sunforger + Brass Squire + Wheel of Sun and Moon while having To Arms!, Manamorphose, and Seething Song is a wonderfully complicated way of drawing as many cards as you want, and utilizing as many tap abilities of your other creatures an unlimited number of times.

to those of you pointing out the high cost stuff like searing winds and whatnot, may i point out "Converted mana cost of 4 or less"

blugm: I almost hate to say it, but Sunforger says "CMC 4 or less". Nine is higher than four, thus, Searing Wind is useless.

Definitely a candidate for mythic rarity. This kind of repeatable tutor effect opens up way too many possibilities, it's a one card toolbox that's limited only by the cards in your deck. But it's also absolutely AWESOME.

Such a fun card. Not many equipment give you such a unique ability AND a useful pump (+4/+0). It really works best when your deck is constructed to work with or without it. That way you don't run into games where you're just waiting for Sunforger so you can get started. When you do have it equipped it's a total cannon. You can do so many things with it it's just absurd.
Some of my favorites to run with it are: Return to Dust, Ghostway, Wild Ricochet (Mentioned also by RedRapist), Debt of Loyalty, Dawn Charm, Retaliate, Final Fortune, Ancient Grudge.
Anyways, lots of fun. Makes me worry whenever my opponent drops it into play.

The +4/+0 in itself is not to be underestimated. The only other equipment(Vulshok Gauntlets) that parallels it has a hefty drawback. If what you need is raw power, this is the best you can get.
Of course in most situations Loxodon Warhammer would be better, but I still might get one of these to throw into my equipment deck.
And I also love that it IS a volcanic hammer. Art-wise, I mean.
EDIT: Okay, what with Ogre's Cleaver and Argentum Armor, that's no longer as true. But this IS only three to equip, to that five and six.
