For a common, this seems very strong. Cheap to cast and equip, takes one blocker out of combat every turn, and snowballs you stats like Luminarch Aspirant does. It's kind of like getting a Glaring Aegis with less stats every turn. Probably only for larger cubes, but at least for me it's hard to say if this is decent or great without testing it.
Seems quite good. I like that if the opponent kills the artifact a turn after it's played, the creature still gets a +1/+1 counter that persists.
For a pure white equipment, I think I prefer maul of the skyclave? it's a card that I have for stoneforge density that overperformed for me.
I find the ground gets clogged up causing flying to be a big deal in my cube. Tapping down a blocker is a strong form of evasion, one that I don't have an intuition for yet.
It’s funny, this morning they spoiled that 1W rare adventure equipment and I thought “aww, looks cool but slightly too inefficient.” And then like an hour later they spoiled this 1W common equipment and I was like “damn, now that looks like a beating when you curve out.” It’s not quite aspirant, but the “haste” tapping does aid attacking A LOT. W 2s,3s, and equipment are probably too clogged nowadays but I would give this a brief spin at higher sizes just to see.

I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.

Wouldn't fault anyone for testing.
