Wow. All i have to say when I see this guy is "..really..?
-On the curve
-Repeated Card Advantage
-OMG it just saved me blah amounts of mana
Do keep in mind that Auriok Windstalker (despite that being instant speed) does essentially the same thing at 4 mana to a mere one equipment a turn. This guy does it to everything forever.
That said, I do like that he's not an auto-include because of his specialty.

O-Naginata, Bonesplitter, Cranial Plating comes to mind. Have this guy out with some of the cheapest power up equipments in your deck and you'll grow in power fast. Made a deck with them and the five sword of's. By the 7th turn i had only 20 cards in deck and a very high Kor Duelist kicking butt.

"Why isn't this a "kor knight" ?!?? Why??!"
Because Kor are from Zendikar and this one's from Mirrodin...

Interesting;y enough, there are actually rules that state that a creature cannot equip itself to itself, just in case some degenerate game breaking combo existed that allowed something to do that, a la bludgeon brawl liquidmetal coating or march of the mahcines. it makes me sad :( I can't actually quote the rule though.
The card can be just absolutely incredible though. having him drop, equipping him with a whole shit ton of swords and like the new swiftfoot boots or any other haste giver and your in business. I remember one person attempted to pull this on me and just wreck my board position but mana leak came to the rescue. A pretty solid card in the right deck if your capable enough to make it work without dosruption.

I did respectably with a Puresteel/Equip deck last Friday. Mortarpod proved to be key, so I modified it to include Heavy Arbalest. I think it'll get me at least a Top 8 (at FNM...I know, not that big of a deal). So many possibilities with this guy, though.
My mind wheels are turning.

With 2 Accorder's Shield this guy will give you 2 cards and be on his way with one more Zero drop Memnite + draw. And if you can avoid instant kills you get a 2/8 vigilance that can smile in the face of Dismember. Swiftfoot Boots if your lucky, leaves only Ratchet Bomb and Day of Judgment to worry about. This card is broken with Bludgeon Brawl!
When people have this much to say it can mean only one thing = this card is Broken. 5.0

Whoa. Just... whoa.
EDIT: Well shucks. I never did get my hands on any, and it certainly didn't tear up any format. I just assumed that he'd be the cornerstone of CawBlade and Tempered Steel. It never happened. Sorry, old buddy. Good luck at FNM I guess.

A great combo I like to pull with this guy is with Shrine of Loyal Legions and Mortar Pod. Let the counters build up, have your Pod in place, drop your Puresteel Paladin, then pop the shrine. Sac all your tokens with the pod, by equipping for free for a bunch of damage. Works great as a final blow to a weakened opponent, usually hits for between 5-15 damage, easy.
