"It's an equipment Ordeal!" — Continue

Except for the fact that it misses the sacrifice-triggered ability to make it interesting.
So as Melubb said, Equip 2 is a lot for what it does.

Giving us the choice of getting either the trigger of the white or the red Ordeal (since Iroas's colors are Red or White) would have made things interesting:

     Whenever equipped creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on it. Then if it has three or more +1/+1 counters on it,      sacrifice Armory of Iroas.

     When you sacrifice Armory of Iroas, choose one — Armory of Iroas deals 3 damage to target creature or player; or      you gain 10 life.

     Equip 2

Of course getting the trigger by sacrificing an artifact is in general far easier than saccing an enchantment, but players wil... (see all)

I guess this is sort of a shrine or something? Or do the equipped creatures actually wear the stuff they grab from this pile? I guess whenever they attack they grab another weapon or something.

Not great and expensive equip cost (2 colourless).

Comparable to the Ring cycle from M13? This doesn't care about the creature's color and benefits from extra combat steps, but the Rings granted an extra ability and the Creature could just sit there accumulating counters without doing anything. I think I prefer the Rings.

Awesome EDH card for a counter-based deck. "Oh, uh, Fathom Mage, while you're heading out to attack could you grab a helmet off that pile there?"
