Can WOTC errata cards like this to make them equipment? I'd prefer that over new names of cards.

@ sweetsadist: Probably more trouble than it's worth. Too many rules changes, and it goes against the policy of trying to keep old cards as functionally similar to their printed version as possible.

And anyhow, much as I used to like Ashnod's Battle Gear, I'm not sure the following would be a great card anyway:

2
Artifact: Equipment
Equipped creature gets +2/-2.
Equip 2

Just compare it to Vulshok Morningstar for starters.

Looks like Iron man.

once subtle, but perhaps significant difference:
THIS can be used as an instant, unlike equipment that can only be used as a sorcery.

Look at the art on knight of stromgald or kjeldoran warrior

Mark Poole sure loves this one suit of armour.

Wow Iron Man, mtg style. Also this was an equipment before equipment.

Ashnod could beat the crap out of anyone... with ANYTHING. She created one of her disabler staves using only earrings and some wire. (Plus a skull.)

You mean that he was a regular McGyver?

See those spikes? They go inwards also :)
