A bit of a round-about and mana-intensive win-con in horde decks, but more new "legendary" tribal I was hoping to see more of after Heroes' Podium was printed! Definitely gonna build a "legendary matters" deck if we see another few toys in Tarkir.
Edit 1: Missed the "trample" bit. Definitely an improvement. That and the repeatability make the costs seem very fair. Note that 4th turn play ramps into 5th turn equip + activation.
Looks somewhat like the pre/release ad poster, and seeing as how the card is next to a big 26 (which is below a big 19 and probably would fully say 19/20: Prerelease), therefor I would also guesstimate that this is a/the release promo.
But it's possibly that I am completely off base here.

I absolutely love this card already. The design is just so very flavorful. Worst comes to worst, it's playable in casual. I'm also hoping this points to a Legendary subtheme, ala Kamigawa-done-right. I loved the ideas of Kamigawa block, just not the execution.
The date stamp on the card looks like it is only a single day, so I'm glad this is not a possible pre-release promo most likely and is instead the release event card.

Well yeah, it'd have to belong to one of the clans to be a prerelease promo.
This might be the most flavorful take on a throne in Magic so far - and it's in a set with no kings or kingdoms. Don't see it as fake, mostly because the artwork is new.
What's scarier than Zurgo Helmsmasher rushing you? An army of +7/+7 tramplers rushing you.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Still not as good as the Iron Throne, as everyone knows Steel resists Dragon. (Okay, iron and steel aren't actually synonymous, but still.) Love the flavor of the card: a ruler doesn't wade into the fray, but commands from the sidelines, infusing their army with the power of the dragons.
(The best creature to throw this on in standard, if you're pouring in all of that mana anyway? Colossus of Akros. It'd have to be one large throne for it to sit on, though.)

Felt a bit weird at first having a throne be Equipment, but whatever. Pretty nice effect provided you can get the right creature on the Throne...

This cards amazing. It could easily end up being this standard's Kessig Wolf Run. It has a higher cost and isn't as easy to put in, but you can play it in any deck not just RG.

Lmao this card takes like 9 mana, a creature with decent power that won't die, and other creatures, I'm not even sure if its playable in edh
Legendary Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature has defender and “2, T: Other creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is this creature’s power.”
Equip 3
What once soared high above Tarkir is now reduced to a seat.

Again, you want "jank" to be mythic so its not an expensive tournament staple
This by flavor alone seems mythic enough
I like it.
