I honestly don't like this card very much. I got like 6 of them--all from boosters(Got ripped off :P), it almost seems to be the most common rare in Mirrodin and it drives me nuts. I can't trade them because no one wants 'em and I won't use them in Soldiers deck or Equipment based deck because there are way faster creatures to use that also have some sort of evasion. I mean a 2/2 Body for 4CMC blows...Maybe if used with 0 cost equipments like Lightning Greaves, Shuko, and Grafted Wargear you could swing a 12/10 on Turn 4, but that's best case scenario and it could just be chump blocked. In short this is a very High Investment creature that should have had Trample--it's a freakin' elephant for crying out loud--and only has a small home in Metagame.

This card is EXCELLENT! You keep putting equips on it and it not only gets stronger for the equips, but it's effect. +2/+2 for every equip on it. If you put a Bonesplitter (Equipped creature get +2/+0), it becomes a 6/4. If you add a Fireshrieker (Equipped creature has Double-strike), then it's a 4/4 with double-strike + any other equips you put on it. You could even put a Pariah on it (All damage dealt to you is dealt to enchanted creature), as long as it has enough, you should have no problem winning. All in all, a great card.

This card is a good card. If you put sword of kaldra on it, it will become a 9/9 and will have whenever this creature deals combat damage to a creature remove it from the game! You can keep boosting this card up with fireshrieker or bonesplitter. But if you don't have any equipments, you're screwed.
