Inspired by my comment on Mecha.

Reordered text.

Nice!

The fact that it loses its equip ability is both for flavor (you have to have time to repair it) and balance. I don't know if it makes sense or not.

i can follow along with it, but it is a bit confusing. any reason you can't have this work as an equipment totem armor? can make it a may clause so that people aren't sacrificing their equipment for bad dudes

Evolved this idea a little into Glasgow RPI-11. Since that's in the Code Geass set I wanted the mecha to be a bit easier to kill. But for a world where powered armor is a lot harder to destroy in combat, this is a very interesting mechanic. Does make it even better than most equipment, which is already a pretty powerful card type; this allows a random 3/3 to function as a 4/5 with regenerate {2} that you don't even need to leave mana up for. That's... pretty strong.
