I like the concept, would have liked to see something more interesting though. Something along the lines of the flavor of the glimmervoid-like plates he has on there.

Obsianu{}s Golem is feeling pretty sad right about now. Could have easily been reprinted for this set.

Sacrifice 3 Lands: You may play Hexplate Golem without paying it's mana cost. Would have flavor and fit to the art.
Sadly nothing more than a mediocre till bad limited card.

Or maybe if he had something like a toughness boost based off how many lands you had, or abilities based on the lands you had...or something flavorful. At 7 mana vanilla creatures are no longer playable unless they're hideously undercosted.

He's got a big fat body for the right cost, he doesn't cost you any colored mana, and he is in a set that cares about artifacts. Seems like a fine common card to me. The game needs simple creatures, and this guy does what he needs to.
I could see some situations where I would put this in a sealed deck. I wouldn't be that happy about it, but landing this thing would make a big difference on the board. I mean, people played Alpha Tyrranax is sealed and succeeded with him. Only problem is Mr. Hexplate here is vulnerable to artifact removal...

He doesn't even deserve his name. There's nothing hex about this guy. 7/5/7? who are they trying to fool?

Expensive vanilla artrifact creature which is also a common. There was no hope for this one.

Overcosted garbage...
Why couldn't they have added a token effect to pump this guy up? Or at least give him Metalcraft for god's sakes.
Yeah, I have a feeling this was originally designed as a 6/6 for 7, but got tweaked by development at the last minute. Why else would it say "Hexplate" and then NOT have any 6's anywhere on it?

Not terrible in a draft, drop him in constructed.

Actually really like this in draft if I don't get any better bombs, and if not having another can help too. Is also alright if you get a Treasure Mage as well!

Hexplate Golem be trolling your game of Heroscape. Man I LOVE golems, and beat downs, but I wish this guy was better Q_Q 2/5 for effort big guy.

If it was like 6/7 trample, it would be awwright. But it's not.

VANILLA RULES 4EVER!!!
Yes, I LOVE VANILLA CREATURES! And the bigger they are, the more I like them!
They exist because Magic NEEDS them. They are not crap, they only are the simplest possible. I know, this would have been better if it costed , but consider also that it doesn't cost colored mana...

Would've prefered a bunch of sixes all around the costing and such, but still, 5/7 isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Perfectly costed for what he does and what he is, a common artifact creature.

Well, technically Vanilla creatures do have one thing over non-vanilla, they can be used to get a decent boost from Muraganda Petroglyphs.
Seems kinda meh though. Worth a 2.

@nemokara: Armor is sometimes named for what it's designed to protect against. Perhaps it's "hexplate" because it can endure 6 damage.

unplayable in constructed, good card for limited.
Its one of those FU situations but wizards cares far more about limited environment and making sure you dont get a constructed winner in every pack.
