While this card is probably more realistically costed than the super-broken Loxodon Warhammer...

Screw you. Give me Piston Sledge. It's fun and it's free to equip the first time.

Not a constructed card, but cards like this are what keep drafts fun.

I love how people completely ignore that limited is one of the most played formats. This card is *great* in limited, and is almost an auto-include. Yes, it's expensive - but it turns your Grizzly Bears (and there are a LOT of bears in the format) into 5/3s. That is NOT bad, and being able to turn a 2 drop into something that can take out the beefier commons and quite a few uncommons is pretty nice. Put it on an evasive creature, such as one of the formats many fliers, and you have a lot of pain going through. Give it to something with lifelink and you're getting a lot back.
Of course, Sword of Justice is better, but it's also rare. Whispersilk Cloak is better *on an already good creature*, but Warlord's Axe is better on vanilla/cheap creatures. Just try putting it on a Scroll Thief. What's that? You have to chump block a 4/4 or take 4 and let me draw a card? Nice.
However, in the constructed front everyone's spot on. It doesn't do nearly enough when you could just replace it with Swo... (see all)

This card is crap. It's too over-costed in mana cost and equip cost. Uhg...

Yeah cause I'd rather pay an additional mana to equip this instead of Loxodon Warhammer for +1 toughness over Lifelink and Trample. Awful card.

@JaxsonBateman
The problem most people have with it is that it turns your Grizzly's into 5/3s... for 7 mana. Why pay that when you could buy two 3/3's or 1 PELAKKA WURM for that much(ignoring color)?
