@Trizeem, dark steel costs 1 more to equip.

@Flavros, there are plenty of better equipment out there than those 2 or even this one, there just often time combo cards.

I know its not that good, but its cheap, and being that its an artifact make is easily put into any color or deck, 3.5/5

I find it depressing that an obviously useful and good card, even by today's standards (what with powercreep and all), is going to be shoved into the "strictly worse than" category. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, find some Scars spoilers.
Of course, I understand why Wizards is printing that stupid Darksteel Axe. If they just reprinted Bonesplitter, then people wouldn't have to buy the new card!
Edit: Thanks to Natas, I have realized that I was mistaken when I claimed Darksteel Axe is strictly better than this. I am now less depressed.

I looked at every equipment on gatherer, and I believe that this, loxodon warhammer, and nightmare lash are pretty much the only good equipment out there, with this one being my personal favorite for its cheapness and versatility. Of course there are probably a few exceptions, but I consider those the quality standard of equipment cards.

Strictly worse then Rancor...

Before I get marked down and trolled, don't bother. But do make the comparisons between these two cards, and you will see rancor takes a dump on it. And when I mean comparisons I don't mean the QQ "This is better in so and so deck." Just compare the two cards in a vacuum, and pretend only forest exists for lands.
