I guess you can equip it to your Construct tokens. Use that conspiracy, cast this turn 2, then equip on turn 3? Whoo, a 3/3 that can attack...

@anotherfan321: Or run this with Cinder Wall.

Dat big butt horse. Which is actually pretty ironic given the slang for creatures with high toughness.

I can see why they put it in Conspiracy, as there's a considerable amount of defenders.
(Which is probably why we also got Wakestone Gargoyle at Uncommon.)

Still, it bugs me that this wasn't simply made a strictly better Vulshok Morningstar.
It would also have been awesome if there was an alternate equip cost of or for creatures with defender.

Personally, I'd rather equip in on a Guardian Zendikon, but I didn't get to draw it when I assembled the W/R defender deck (isn't that the most strange archetype name, when you think about it??)
