Because there wasn't any infect back in Darksteel. And power armor is much cooler than weighted stick.

But Carapace Forger could block...

Yeah, the "Can't Block" clause feels weird to me. Why does wearing power armor suddenly void your ability to stop an enemy?

It's also a little unusual for cards that remove blocking to boost toughness, or at least boost it as much as they boost power.

Looks like this card could use some living weapon...

Is this the carapace that Carapace Forger forged for itself? Odd thing is, the 'can't block' ability has a red flavor to it, and does not appear on Carapace Forger.
3 to equip is somewhat steep.

Sure is "haven't played limited yet" here. Seriously, this card was a beast in my prerelease pool. Training Drone equipped with Copper Carapace was a real threat in my games. Then again, that's the most I had going for my Sealed deck. :\

I guess it can't block because it's too slow. Other than that, I think it's cool, except I'd probably make the equip cost 1 less.

Also, imagine equiping three of these to a metal craft creature, haha!

Awesome in limited. Bad in constructed. Seriously underrated.

Works in limited Infect decks wonderfully.

Not that bad in the pre-lease, although it mostly exist on the board for Metalcraft purposes.

This card is a beast. Having at least a 3/3 attack on turn 3 is nothing to laugh at, much less putting it on a Kemba's Skyguard or some other flier. However, this card really shines in an infect deck: You almost always need to double block to bring down an infect creature with a copper carapace, basically making each of your infect creatures 2 for 1s. And you shouldn't be blocking with an infect deck anyways.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is a great mid draft pick. Especially if you managed to pick up some good cheap flyers or other evaders. I understand you want more in constructed, but 1 drop equipment that gives +2/+2 is pretty darn powerful.

I like to put it on my Phyrexian Juggernaut. And even better, you have enough mana to equip two of them the turn after he comes into play.

It's a nice pull in draft, it keeps your smaller guys dangerous as you go into the late-game. However, I do agree that the equip cost is just a tad much.

A simple +2/+2 for 1/3 would've been fine, guys. You did it for 2/2 before and that was perfectly fine. Don't need to add another drawback too it, the cost was excessive enough.

It's a mech. A mech. No more arguments.
