People who complained about Leatherback Baloth being overpowered should look away now. Used with Stoneforge Mystic, this card can hit the battlefield on your 3rd turn, and it only costs you 2 mana. That's right, 1White gives you a 4/4 creature with lifelink and vigilance, and even if your opponent manages to kill it, you can simply return the equipment to your hand for 3 abd replay it as a creature for 1White again.

I do understand if people running Stoneforge Mystics are very happy about this card, but personally, this left me with a bad taste. If Phyrexian Obliterator is stupid, then this is downright degenerate.

Still 5/5 though; there's not much doubt that this card is extremely powerful.
Compare it with Magma Phoenix.

Batterskull is a very neat card. Mythic equipments are always really good. Maybe not heavy on the flavor but defiantly something cool/broken to collect and play.

I never like those decks that lack a coherent flavour, that just feel like a random assortment of over-powered stuff. I know a lot of people criticize tribal decks as unimaginative and building by numbers, but at least they feel like a story.
This card is pretty much a microcosm of all those good stuff decks that crush my crappy soldiers or elves. Too powerful, too much of a flavour mishmash, and played by people who take the game seriously and aim to win. Not their fault, but mine for missing the point.

5 mana for a 4/4 body with vigilance and lifelink for any color sounds great. The fact that you can equip it to other creatures and that you can bounce it just sweetens the deal even more. What happened to mythics not being overpowered Wizards?

I agree with LordofLiege. We have had like 50 people say that this card doesn't have the right flavor, or flavor that makes sense. We don't need everybody else to say the same thing. I personally think this could be very evil on a palace guard. Or with a puresteel paladin.

You can't make sense of em all. Sometimes R&D just wants to make a broken as hell card.
