The only possible justification I can think of for even considering printing something like this is a very, very intense need of a flavor-injection. And they even failed at that, since nobody would play this, and, hence, no added flavor.

Hahaha "twice the unplayable" ...so true ...
Sweet artwork though, that cow's pretty terrified

@Icefang13: Add in Puresteel Paladin to draw your entire deck as you combo out
Also, this might be somewhat entertaining if it let the creature deal the damage, as you could use deathtouch and combat shenanigans, but it would still be pretty pathetic. I think the whole point of it returning it was to be able to re-equip it a couple times (like Cyclopean Snare), but unlike the snare, you could just re-equip it without it bouncing, but I guess it's more obvious now

Just a handful of mana to end that pesky Goblin once and for all? Well boy howdy, sign me up!

There seem to be a lot of not-entirely-unreasonable ways to get this to the state of ridiculous (in a 'too good' sort of way). That's not to say it's great on its own, but it seems representative of how nuts some artifacts (and artifact support) have been getting lately. o_o

There are honestly worse cards than this, and I don't think it should be the lowest rated. With the right combo, it can win games; that's way better than cards like Fasting or Sorrow's Path can claim. The win condition is very niche, and there are better cards to make use of Galvanizer (I myself prefer Myr Propogator), but even so, this card does have a legitimate use in a deck, even if it's a casual myr tribal deck, and that's worth something, imo.

2 myr galvanizer and a palladium myr with most infinite mana combo cards = instant win, "this" isn't the one i'd pick.
Only thing cool about this card is the art... 1/5. That IS a horse, right guys? BUT horses don't have fingers, so there's that... back to 0.5/5

Few can catch it without losing a finger.
None can play it without losing a playgroup.
