Equip cost is too high. If it gave first strike or was cheaper, I'd think about it.

I'd rather run something like o-naginata. Costs 3 instead of 7 to play and equip AND gives trample.
This card here is just bad. What's it best on? On small creatures obviously (since large creatures don't benefit that much from another power boost). What will happen to the small creatures when you attack with them, while they have this thing equipped? Since they don't get trample they'll be chump blocked, and since they are small creatures they'll die. And then you can pay the equip cost a few more times. -.-

I severely underestimated this card before prerelease. May be constructed jank, but never underestimate little creature that can swing for 6 with flying.

Actually Rhodestar, you don't have to wait till turn 4, by then Kor Duelist will be ready to attack as soon as he gets equipped.

By the time she lifts that thing a nearby Eldrazi will be scraping her off it's foot.
Amazing in Limited. Attach to flyers for epic damage!

Putting this on Escaped Null and adding Tiger Claws makes for one DESTRUCTIVE combo. Heavy damage if blocked, life gain in basically every instance. Great in a green/black deck. It's far too expensive for that reason.

Listen guys its a good cheap early cast that gives you options later.

pretty nice in block for the duelist, in anything else it is just so much better to run the duelist with a jitte

Obviously designed to work with several of the Kor cards from the block, including Kor Outfitter and Kor Duelist.
On its own, heinously expensive. It might save you in limited, but there are better cards out there for certain.
Magic Arcana missidentified the race of the lady holding the cleaver. He (Monty Ashley wrote this Arcana) refered to her as a "human". As one can tell by the ears, she's an elf.

I really love this card, I just haven't really gotten it to work for me, yet.

I stuck this in my Rafiq EDH deck and have really enjoyed it. "I swing with a sapproling, 14 damage"

I could see this being useful for the late game in a red or white weenie deck when your two-drops can no longer pose a threat on their own, and you don't have more than one to cast per turn anyway. This ensures that any of your creatures will remain a threat.

There's something about tapping five lands and giving a creature a REALLY BIG sword that turns me on.

Use Magnetic Theft. An equipment deck can win very quickly under those conditions.

I think this card is a misprint.
It should have been called Ogre's Cleaverage
with the flavor text:
She adopted the weapon of the slave-lord Kazuul, and with it, all his cruelty. <- man bewbs

I see this card jumping up in rating once Puresteel Paladin comes out in New Phyrexia.
Hopefully she'll use her cruelty to extort enough money for her badly-needed augmentation mammoplasty. C'mon, Adi Granov! THAT "camera" angle and THAT pose and not doing a little more with that aspect of the art is like watching a baseball player hit a triple and get tagged out at home plate!

This card was designed for Puresteel Paladin. In fact, all cheap cast equipment with high equip costs were designed for him. Or was he designed for them?

Magic needs more obscenely large weapons.
It's odd for giants or dragons or enormous gorillas to have to use dainty little weapons.

Yeah, think its weak all you want. Ive won plenty of games in my budget deck with it. 5 power is 5 freaking power. Turns your Ornithopter into a "Repeatable Lava Axe"

haha that image is hiliarious!!! That's the part of her story where she realizes she can't actually lift the weapon off the ground...mere moments later she's sawn in two by some huge creature she thought she could take.
Great card.

It's far too big to be called a sword. Too heavy, too thick, and far too rough, it's more like a slab of raw iron.
