will it be triggered 3 times with seeds of strength?

I feel this card may eventually make it into a top tier deck soon. This card is very versatile. In an infect deck it can be a turn 4 game winner merely with any 1/1 infect creature targeted with distortion strike, and virulent swipe. The fact that once the creature is targeted while this is equipped, even if you counter the spell you still get to deal 2 damage is just amazing. 5 out of 5 from me because its fun to play with, its versatile, and is a threat in any infect deck.

Blighted Agent
Livewire Lash
Giant Growth
A quick and clean 8 poison counters for those of us running blue green infect anyway.

Fail.
Doesn't work with fling, I am bad at life. Works well with Apostle's Blessing and Mutagenic Growth though.

Equip onto a manlanded Inkmoth Nexus and carpetbomb your own critter!
This turns Gigadrowse into Gigadouse, and Shattering Spree into... bad puns fail me at the moment... a spree of shattering that shatters your opponent moreso than your artifact land creature?

if youre doing legacy infect youre probably going for cheating out a blightsteel or with that second turn infect deck from modern with blazing shoals and whatnot.
scratch that no one in legacy actually runs a decent infect deck or vintage or modern or standard for that matter. Also i don't think that anyone runs rancor despite the fact its one of the best aura's of all time.
This is a fun card to combo with, however the people that are saying that this is so awesome and might take standard by storm with their 8 card combos are wrong. splintertwin and deciever exarch were a 2 card infinite combo and it still wasn't the best deck in standard. This has much less of a chance of actually being decent since its 4 mana to play and equip and you have to have a creature, plus at least 1-3 other spells to do anything. 3 card combos aren't seeing much play ever probably, see grimgrin/bloodline keeper/necrotic ooze which is actually a ...

Kiln Fiend, then this, then Tainted Strike, then Soul's Fire, then Distortion Strike for 30 poison (I think, correct me if I missed any triggers). Then slap on an Assault Strobe just for the hell of it (66 unblockable poison counters).

I think the best way/correct calculation for this combo would be:
Kiln Fiend, equip this to fiend, cast Tainted Strike- Your lash deals 2 STANDARD damage to creature/opponent as it'll resolve before infect applied to Fiend, then your fiend becomes 4/2, then Tainted resolves and fiend is 5/2 with Infect, then cast the Distortion Strike- 2 poison counters on enemy, Fiend pumps to 8/2, Distrortion resolves and you now have a 9/2 unblockable fiend with infect; NOW play the Soul's Fire (may as well take advantage of Distortion pumps), this triggers for a total of 4 poison counters on opponent, then fiend pumps to 12/2, then Soul's resolves and applies 12 poison ...

Infect's "punisher" version of shroud, except that it's even moar lulzy when you cast Giant Growth on the equipped creature.
Also, Curiosity for hilarious card advantage.

Seeds of Strength doesn't work, guys. According to an Oracle ruling on the similarly-worded Wild Defiance, a spell that targets a creature more than once will only trigger Wild Defiance once. Same thing here.

Ursapine doesn't always use livewire lash, but when he does, everything f**king disintegrates.
He is the most interesting beast in the world.
