This was Bonesplitter for a while. I liked that Equipment, it was among the best, really. Apparently, I needed one that good. I also didn't like Trusty Machete being uncommon. Even worse, when I made Spirit of War, I wanted there to be a perfect Equipment for turn one. Turned out it was powerful.

If I was changing this, though, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Yowsers. Yes. I don't think +3/+0 should be a common equipment at any cost (well, maybe something like 5 mana). Warlord's Axe shows how much Wizards think a similar effect should cost these days; quite a jump down from Vulshok Battlegear, but that was crazy strong. In a sense this is balanced against Darksteel Axe (lose indestructible, gain +1/+0), but I don't think it is really balanced. If you were changing this, and really wanted it to still be a 1-drop equipment, then I'd make it uncommon and {3} to equip.

I agree. I, like Wizards during Mirrodin, underestimated Equipment, apparently.
