Sensible recosting of Leonin Scimitar. A lot of the early equipment turned out to be a bit too good; Riot Gear is another recent Equipment that's worse than a Mirrodin-block equipment (in that case, Vulshok Morningstar).

I should really fix the type line though, lol.

But yea, I thought about making it 1 - 2, but settled on 2-1 instead. Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm glad you think its sensible.

FWIW, Wizards have (curiously) avoided printing anything strictly worse than Leonin Scimitar. They prefer to give the card some additional minor bonus (often one that won't normally make a difference), such as on Bladed Bracers or Flayer Husk or Runed Stalactite. (This is somewhat odd given they're happy to print things worse than Vulshok Morningstar or Vulshok Battlegear.)

People can't pronounce vulshok?

My guess would be because the scimitar ended up in a core set; so more people know about it.

I don't know what FWIW is :(

For what it's worth.
