Stoneforge Mystic or Stonehewer Giant it out if you're worried about the mana cost.

Hey, it's not Legendary. That's an odd slip up for Kamigawa.
But not for RtR and Populate!

I am simply wowed at how people can miss the point of this card...
Compare it to argentum armor... 6 to cast, 6 to equip. IMO a fair price for turning your general into a voltron with a destructive upside... and it's a single card that you add to the deck. Now this, 6 to cast, 3 to equip a lot more lenient for 1 less p/t and 3 mana by comparison...
oh look, an ability that saves it from being destroyed too. I guess majority of people will overlook the cards token-producing ability and suddenly the 6 mana they thought you had up for a miscellaneous boardwipe/counterspell/EOT combo becomes the surprise 6cmc 5/5 flying guy they completely forgot about because it was attached to your commander. Who runs 6cmc counters?
You're welcome.

This could be worth it. If they do not have any artifact removal, they are going to have some problems dealing with your 5/5 dragon that does not die.
For 6 mana and 6 activation, high risk moderate reward.

Don't be a chump -- Run High Market so your Dragon's Fang fantasies return back to reality on the battlefield.
Wow, this is like the Kamigawa version of Batterskull. And it's not bad!

Pricy, but awesome. Turns almost anything into a monster and spits out a mini monster if that seems like something you might want to do. Here's my problem, and it relates to almost all equipment. How does a snake use this? (I'm not talking about those stupid Kamigawa 'snakes'.) A wurm? Any one of the massive creatures whose only practical use for a sword would be to tack a reminder to "destroy more cities" to their comedically oversized bulletin boards? Don't get me wrong. I like equipment, and I understand that you can only do so many talismans and amulets, but I just feel goofy giving a sword or a pair of boots to something that so obviously has no faculties for using it. Wizards should have spent more time fixing auras instead, either by making more that bounce when their target is lost, or allow card draw when they go to the graveyard. I love auras. It feels more like something a powerful mage might do for one of his minions. None of this, "Here's a stick. Go fight that guy." nons... (see all)

The token generation is way too overcosted just for a 5/5 blue flyer that doesn't even have haste. if you play this or search it up with something like quest for the holy relic and then on the next turn you leave 6 mana open, I think you're opponent will notice...
And it doesn't say that you return the sword when the token leaves the battlefield, it has to die for it to return. So if I play unsummon on the token, buum, 12 mana investment crushed at the cost of my 1 mana. If I need to put up that kind of investment, I'll want something gigantic to compensate the risk. Compare to Elbrus, the Binding Blade, for example, a bit harder to turn into a creature but: 2/3 of the cost, has 3 kinds of evasion, almost triple the size, can win the game in 2 turns by itself (3 if you count when it comes into play) and won't turn into nothing over a 1-mana unsummon
@Gheridarigaaz, don't underestimate argentum armor's... (see all)
