The nightshade peddler commits high blasphemy when he poisons the tip of this holy relic.

Got both this and Avacyn at the prerelease this past weekend. 'Twas a good day and definitely took home my share of packs.

Stupid inifinite combo (Modern legal) time --
This + any unblocked creature + Breath of Fury + lightning greaves + Puresteel Paladin + a third artifact to give you metalcraft

I like to imagine Kaalia wielding this in one hand and Sword of Vengeance in the other.

Good God (insert creator of your choice), Avacyn's ***(marital aid that requires electricity) is going to rape (have nonconsensual sex with) everyone.
You just can't tell with the censor anymore.

Comparing this to Tatsumasa, I can safely say that this card is EDH NUTS. Tatsumasa is a great card for a lot of EDH decks, so lets look at it in comparison:
Tatsumasa's Converted Mana Cost: 6
Moonsilver's Converted Mana Cost: 4
Tatsumasa's Equip: 3
Moonsilver's Equip: 4
Tatsumasa's Effect:
Equipped creature gets +5/+5.
6, Exile Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang: Put a 5/5 blue Dragon Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield. Return Tatsumasa to the battlefield under its owner's control when that token dies.
Moonsilver's Effect:
Equipped creature has first strike.
Whenever equipped creature attacks, put a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying onto the battlefield.
Here we can see some of the differences between these similar cards. Tatsumasa only makes one token (which you have to pay a lot of mana for, but it's a bigger token, and it makes whoever its equipped to huge. Unfortunately, it only makes one token, and then it unequips. With Moonsilver Spear however,... (see all)

Besides being one of the best cards for ANY limited situation, this card isn't dead in constructed either. I run one or two Moonsilver Spears in my RWU deck that controls the board with burn and wipes for the first few turns of the game, then use Moorland Haunt to exile a Snapcaster Mage at end of my opponent's turn. Equip and swing for 1 and a 4/4 untapped flying angel. At this point, unless they can Smelt or Oblivion Ring the spear Angel+Spear WILL win the game in three turns (4 + 8 + 12 = 24).
The turn you play it you essentially timewalk yourself, and if you're playing against control this isn't going to be a good thing, particularly if they run Negate. Then again, a lot of people don't see what's coming and let it hit the field...only to furiously hate it out when it comes time to sideboard. I wish its equip cost was (3), so you could play a 2 cost spell on turn 5, but ... (see all)

I'm a fan of double up on effects. I really like this in War Cry decks. You want to swing in those kinds of decks anyway, might as well get some mileage out of those swings not to mention that first strike is good but godly with War Cry.
Also, this + Angel's Tomb/Halcyon Glaze + Warstorm Surge = nuts. Swing with your critter and then drop a 3/3 & 4/4 or two 4/4s onto the field for an (nearly) unavoidable 7-8 damage. Its a kind of expensive combo to put together but if you manage to resolve it your opponent is pretty much dead.
