Given that most vampires fly this is a meh artifact at best.

A sideboard card, but a good one.

Similar to Blazing Torch's protection ability, I was never able to use this against any vampires, because hardly any were played.
It did win me one game, though, making my Galvanic Juggernaut 6/5, which was exactly that one extra point I needed to win!! We were already in extra turns and time was running out...

Give one to Olivia Voldaren and see what she can do with it. You won't be disappointed.

It can also kill creatures with Changeling. Blades of Velis Vel can knock off two creatures.
Anyway use Lure or a creature with that ability or one that can block multiple creatures. Have Wooden Stake equipped and hit the opponent's creatures with Shields of Velis Vel for a massacre.

Sure. One for the wood, and one to bless it.

...Why have people not made wooden stakes into crossbow bolts as to fire at the flying vampires?
I mean, you think the people in Innistrad would deal with enough vampires to be more creative...

I think this may work well when using infect against vampires. Either receive a minimum of 2 infect counters or have your vampire destroyed.
Amoeboid Changeling. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...

For a 2cmc COMMON, Nighthawk, Stromkirk Captain, Noble, Blademaster, Olivia, etc. can all suck a nut. It's almost like a removal that keeps on removing.

Excellent if you know your opponent is playing a vampire tribal. Otherwise not so much. There are better equipment with CMC 2 and equip cost 1 (such as Cranial Plating, Manriki-Gusari or Lightning Greaves).
