Um, Taudisban...
pretty much every single card you mentioned involves a loss of card advantage. The only ones that don't are Goblin Gaveleer and Kor Duellist. Do you even know what card advantage is?

It puts an end to your opponents.

Probably the best 
drop equip in the game.
turn 1 kor duelist.
Turn 2 drop this and equip, attack for 6.

In a lot of ways this is a rebalanced Rancor:
-+2/+0 for 1, +1 equip. (Typically equipments are double the cost of their enchant companions after factoring the equip cost)
-No trample; because cheap trample granting things that also pump power make any tiny creature a huge source of continual damage
-Can be destroyed!
But nothing is stopping you from running them next eachother and having a 5/1 Scryb Sprite. Also, this is a beautiful fetch target for Trinket Mage IMO. His trinket is a giant axe :D.

@ Blurrymadness
In some environments this can be even more resilient than Rancor, since instant-speed bounce/kill on Rancor's target while the enchantment is on the stack is a common way to destroy it for good. (Not like you can afford to wait three turns to dodge a lightning bolt when you're playing aggro) Equipment generally doesn't die to creature removal, though - you'll just end up wasting an equip cost. Not to mention Tormod's Crypt and other instant-speed sideboard graveyard hate.
The addition of trample and the lower CMC for getting it out for the first time still usually make Rancor a significantly more powerful card in green decks, of course. Bonesplitter definitely feels more balanced as a result, while still being plenty powerful.
@ Sabisent
He never said that making any of those plays was a good idea. He was just noting a very obscure, contrived bit of trivia. The fact that it turned out to be wrong (in White's case) makes it even less notable.
Also, though it seems... (see all)
