Yeah. I'll keep playing the Shuko. Swapping play cost and equip cost made it far worse then the original. The only deck I would see playing this is one that just wants as many artifacts on the field no mater what they do. I guess it is Tezzeret the Seeker fodder.
ugggh. Liked Shuko much better, and really wanted "Bone Saw" to mean something big and nasty.
But this makes Ornithopter a house against Bitterblossom! This is definitely going to be a chase common! Think Sakura-Tribe Elder!

I don't know how to gauge this for limited. +1/+0 for a very cheap cost can make an impact, but is it a big enough one to use a slot in your deck for it?
Considering the power of a lot of the cards in Shards, let alone Shards+Conflux, I wouldn't be happy with any pool that had me run this card. On the other side of the coin, this is one of the best 23rd cards I could add, as I know I'm not putting in some random filler creature that likely won't make any sort of impact.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
I feel bad for the people that said they'd actually play this in limited. Guess I will reap the benefits.
It might be playable if someone steals your third pack..... I'd probably just run an off-color land instead.

Wouldn't play it even in limited. The effect is not worth a card.
THANK YOU.
Look, everyone, not every single card that is spoiled is "ok for limited, but not good for constructed". Mods, is it possible to infract people that won't stop saying this about every card?

Uh, the guy was joking about Salvage Titan, and serious about the badness of the card in Limited, so I don't know why you're thanking him when he's doing exactly what you're advocating against.
And infracting non-spam, non-flaming opinion posts is a baaad idea.
P.S. This card is bad.

Level 3 Magic Judge

Didn't read the rest of the thread, so might have missed this... but Bone Saw + Court Homunculous isn't bad for 3/2 on t2
that's what I was thinking. I feel like this is one of those cards that isn't great limited, has no real purpose on its own but will be run for its ability to play well with others.
Any time a Kamigawa card gets referenced, dare I say homaged, I smile a little bit. Obviously it's about as good as Shuko was, maybe a little better because the environment doesn't have nearly as many free artifacts as there were when Shuko was printed. Curse you, Affinity!
Unless you're abusing the fact that this has no cost, just go by raw amounts of mana that you pump into these equipment. In order to gain some effect off of it, the amount of mana is one. After that, Shuko stays at 1 at Bone Saw just keeps increasing.
it's a good and cheap limited card that would at least serve as filler. I also see this going into some crazy esper creation in the future.

Affinity is a budget deck already. Please, don't kid yourself into thinking you actually are going to play a card worse than Shuko. I'm extremely sad that a card named Bonesaw is terrible, now I can't make any Spiderman References without playing a bad card.

1) With a name like that, just reprint Bonesplitter, which is actually quite a decent card.
2) At least give it some random ability like flash.
Then it wouldn't be the waste of cardboard it is now.
