It starts out life as a really problematic creature for your opponent - a 4-mana 4/3 with Flying and Vigilance will rapidly kill your opponent if they dont do something, but what really pushes this into bomb range is that even if they can do something, you end up with a pretty good Equipment anyway -- the stats boost AND the ability to tap down blockers will put your opponent in a ton of trouble, and it is the kind of boost that makes any creature a threat This set has a decent number of Artifacts in it., so the ETB ability will probably draw you a card like half the time in a typical White deck
In paper Magic (as opposed to online Magic), this is a rare occurrence and something that those in charge of Magics rules tend to avoid
Its more of a 1995 style threat, where you set up, land it with a bit of protection, then suddenly the game is completely out of reach for your opponent
