I dislike pairing a powerful evasion ability with a combat-damage trigger. It seems kind of pointless. It may as well give the creature : Remove target opponent's graveyard from the game, except it's even better. Not that it's too powerful, but just that it does too much, all by itself, so it isn't very interesting.

This would see absolutely no play. Both abilities are on other artifacts which are:

a) cheaper
b) easier to trigger

True, they are not both on the same artifact, but I dont see a good reason to put them both on the same artifact.

There must be a better mechanic to go with the drilling flavour (Id keep the unblockability, but not the rest).

I think this should be more like 2 to cast and 2 to equip., which lets you RFG as soon as turn 3. Most every deck that uses its graveyard in a meaningful way does so by then (I'm thinking reanimator mostly).

But that's really cheap to make a guy unblockable.

Isn't there an equipment that already does that though, for like 3&2?
