Glad they made it a Kor, although the mechanic is interesting it doesn't seem all that useful.

It is useful with enchantments like Castle, though vigilance could technically be seen as better. Enchanting it to give vigilance and a tap ability would be interesting as well.

I was just browsing TV Tropes when i realized i never actually read this card's flavor text, since it was used as the introductionary quote for the Weapon of Choice trope "Simple Staff".
Now we need a Simple Staff equipment that's as awesome as the trope suggests it ought to be! :D
Since this card is a kor and these folks just coincidentally happen to be great martial artists (or at least the newer ones are particularly good with equipment), i could imagine this equipment providing a bonus if it's equipped to a kor.
(For example this card's trigger, or a further bonus like a +1/+1 boost, first strike or similar stuff.)

Well, about the trigger: in general it's mostly a bad version of Vigilance, but i could imagine some borderline uses where it's preferable (e.g. through cards triggering on permanents tapping/untapping).
