It's sad how this card lost importance

The strong, yet subtle, statement of board presence.
I dread the thought of this game being catered to those with so short of an attention span that they deny this card because it doesn't have large numbers or flashy effects.
Money does show itself off as the main cause of the disparity between winning players and losing players. However, it truly only applies to certain players. Those who budget like no more than $30 a year on Magic Cards (relying mostly on free extra commons) will indeed be in a disadvantaged position. But how many players does that apply to? The number is not important; I want to put attention to those players who seem to be stuck in some sort of never-win-a-game rut but manage to spend, say, at least $75 a year on Magic Cards- or more interestingly, the players hard-pressed for a win (or even a 'put up a fight') who spend as much money as any decent player does. Why are they in that position?
Some super-obvious reasons come to mind:
-Just started playing
-Don't ... (see all)

Poor icy manipulator, you weren't cool and flashy enough to attract new players in M10. So sad :L

Love to play this card, used it with Winter Orb and Propaganda to irritate in multiplayer. Then i used Vesuvan Doppelganger and Clone to kill them. Very slow, but i liked it very much!

@TheSwarm
Equipments are Artifacts, so yes.

I second the Royal Assassin comment. A pity Icy didn't make 2011 since Royal is there.

"If you were upset about the M2010 rules making damage not use the stack, those sort of situations (players taking advantage of other players not grasping some rules) are to blame. I'm sure of it."
Or, it could just be the stated purpose: that having Mogg Fanatic in two places at once doesn't make logical sense.

pzfreez7: They can tap the land for mana in response. So this is useful in that respect only if you tap the land during a turn that they wouldn't use the mana, or if they would use the land for some other purpose (say it was a Raging Ravine) or to force them to decide what color of mana they want to tap a rare land for before they have all relevant information.

Turn two it with dark ritual, and completely mana muff your opponent, use it with sinkhole and you just wwon yourself the game my friend. 5/5 for flavour, and effectiveness.
