This seems pretty expensive, especially with a drawback like that.

For comparison, a 3 to cast, 3 to equip can get you +3/+3 with no drawback.

I would make this much cheaper.

So, over two turns, assuming you have an unblocked creature, you'll lose 7 life from this, and your opponent will lose 8.

I'm pretty sure this would be fine at 2 mana.

Trigger would probably be better as:

"At the end of your turn, if ~this~ is equipped to a creature, you lose 2 life."

Abilities should be on their own lines.

The actual formatting isn't such a big deal. I'd guess that 85-90% of cards I add to the list I have to fix, even when people are TRYING to gt the formatting right. as long as we can tell what it's supposed to be, the final version will come out OK.

Also, apparently equipment is not a block-specific mechanic, so the equipment we've made could concievable be in the first set. Stijn made a particular card I'm thinking of (something about a spider's web).

You'd better believe I'm going to be giving the set list a good looking over regarding formatting and templating.

While you're at it, I'd like to standardize the way we write flavor text attributions. Example:

"Here I am." -Matt, Golem Legend

Should it use one dash or two? Should the 'author line' be distinct from the 'quote line'? How should this be written if it's not a quote, but instead a proverb?

Should poems use the slash speerator, or be on seperate lines? Example:

I think/ I saw/ a bluebird crap its pants.

vs.

I think
I saw
a bluebird crap its pants.

If you could come up with definitive answers to that stuff, I'd be most grateful.
