I know this card is freakin awesome! BUT. every single time I try to put it in a deck I always end up taking it out for just about any other card. Its great but I just can not find any use for it. I think that because it becomes such a huge threat it almost always becomes priority to remove it.

From the flavor of what the thing does, along with the artwork, it seems safe to say that this spike is evil. I wish there was flavor text for it, maybe then we could know why it's so deadly, and why it's kept wrapped in cloth. Can someone even touch it? Or is it so lethal that its mere contact is life-threatening?
As for the actual equipment itself, this thing is harsh. You force your opponent to either kill off one of his creatures, or lose half his life. Both outcomes are really bad late(r) game since it might mean killing off one of your key assets...or losing half your freakin' health.

3 mana for Phantom Warrior, a 2/2 unblockable. Then attacth this spike and the game will be over no more than three turns later.

Is this a reference to the suicide pills from "Children of Men"?
