Haste for 0 is stupid. 5/5, but stupid. It's strickly better than the "normal haste color" (red).
Since we have Ma-ss Hysteria in the same set, but as a rare card, this one needed a drawback.
Oh, wait, we have a drawback: shroud!
(?!?)
Very stupid!... but 5/5!

@Fictionarious - well given that you can only equip at sorcery speed (unless you have a Leonin Shikari out as FugimSky mentioned) it doesn't really work like that. If your opponent goes to spot remove a creature without these greaves (or does it in response to putting the equip ability on the stack) you're SOL. It's a very, very, very good card, but they only realise their true potential when you have Leonin Shikari in play.

Might as well read "creatures you control have shroud".

I picked one of these up recently at a FNM, for the 0 equip cost these boots are well worth adding into any green stomp deck, every creature would essentially have haste.
although i thought this card was cooler before i found out its an old uncommon....

Play for two and equpt for free? Awesome. Most of the time, it can be equpt on the same turn and for it's cost, to a great creature.
4.0
