I originally intended this card to be common, but it's got way too much stuff on it. Uncommon it is.
I was looking around for old Mirrodin equipment that could be beaten into farm equipment. The Vorrac Battlehorns always confounded me, because it didn't look like anything you'd stick on anything, really. But, as a means of controlling a plowbeast? Sure. Let's make the equipped creature trample opposition under its feet, and turn them into sod.
Went through a number of iterations. I wanted -2/+2... but the payoff would need to be much better to convince people that they'd always equip it. I also tried giving the FtW to your opponent... but, you know, I don't know if I'd play that if it cost
and (0)... seems too good for the opponent.
Cut "You may search..." and "If you do...". I'd prefer that players didn't have to search and shuffle if they didn't need to, but the difference was a smaller font size... that seems less worth it.
