As soon as I saw this living weapon, I fell in love.
This morning, I looked again and this time noticed it was a mythic rare.
Why the hell is this mythic? Mythics were supposed to be big, splashy, awesome spells/creatures with badass effects. This is a powerful, powerful card, sure, but it does not capture the mythic flavour at all. For that matter, the "return to hand" ability just feels sort of like they tacked it on to make it stronger.
Still really looking forward to pulling this, though >_>

Not going to see much play after Zendikar block rotates , but probably dominate standard thanks to Caw-Blade before that.

I wish I had a few Stoneforge Mystics. I've been wanting to make an equipment deck. {5} for a 4/4 vigilance lifelink is awesome, then after the token dies you can either bounce it and replay it, or use Brass Squire to equip (Kor Duelist?) for free at instant speed.

The little germ is crying because its BFF was banned.

Ya'll can boohoo about the flavor all day, it's still a brilliant card.

Everyone saying Torpor Orb counters living weapon do you even read the cards?
Torpor Orb specifically says "Creatures entering the battlefield don't cause abilities to trigger." Living Weapon Equipment cards are not creatures, please learn to read.
/rant
Now on topic, this card is insanely powerful, probably one of the most powerful and balenced cards in standard. Open one in Limited and you will win nine times out of ten.

Is it just me, or does this look like Phyrexian Dreadnought?
