After seeing my friend run this in his draw engine/counterspell deck and getting hit in the face by a 17/5 Sturmgeist, I now realize just how scary this card can be.

Wow I REALLY underrated this. It's pretty resilient.

This will serve perfectly as win condition for my Counterspell deck.

Equip this on Geist of Saint Traft. Now he can survive a blocker. Also run lots of bounce, to remove blockers and grow bigger.

That would be the epitome of a blue lame and funny deck. Preferably equip the +counterspell equipment to a Storm Crow.

really, this is rated under 4 stars? do you guys not realize that multiple delver decks have won tournaments with this as a 3 or 4 of in their deck?

This card is solid in any deck with a few sorcery and instants. It is an absolute bomb in a deck that runs lots of sorcery and instant spells. It can be more powerful than sword of feast and famine... If your creature was battling an opponents creature and you could choose which creature had which piece of equipment.... Which would you want..... I'd equip the pike to mine every time... First strike and more power....
If there were no opposing blockers the sword is better but there's usually blockers.... Runechanter's Pike all the way

I even like Viridian Claw, but this thing is very close to a strictly better swap-out for the Claw in most cases. Nice card.

Works well in a blue/white or blue/black control deck with Inkmoth Nexus as the win condition. Stall stall stall until you can hook this onto inkmoth for a 1-2 turn win.
