Boots are the kind of card I wanted when I tested Rabbit Battery. In my Vintage Cube the artifact and equip cost are both critical and this one is about as low as you can go. Shadowspear has been awesome but Equip 2 is so much different than Equip 1.
Can't wait to see this card in green decks. It's going to hit so hard.
Haste is one of my favorite keywords and I love it for keeping slower decks honest.
Card is nearing a decade old (wow) & want to get feedback on how it's performed for others. The more I'm playing my Cube the more frustrated I've become with the 2R activation cost on Pia & Kiran Nalaar.
I'm just not sure this card does enough in small Cube lists to warrant a spot. Or have recent experiences sold the card short?
How is this card in 2024? I'm running a Vintage 360 and looking for any form of acceleration I can get. Is this too narrow? Sacrificing it is a brutal cost but with the lower curves nowadays could it work? Seems like exactly the land for aggro decks.
Thanks!
Edit: Apparently reading is difficult and this is Ancient Tomb. I swear I read this three times and it said "two mana of any color." As it's printed it doesn't sound like an effect that aggro would want
I seriously want to swap out Bonesplitter for this.
Love haste especially and the Ward isn't the worst either but giving haste to something in the mid-late game can really turn a match around.
Edit: I was feeling like a crazy person after seeing this card spoiled a few days ago & no thread. Usually that means my card evaluation is way off.
I'm going to make this swap. I also like it because more decks will want this effect as opposed to just the more aggressive decks wanting Bonesplitter.
Agreed with all of Steve's points above. Having just added a Draw-7 subtree to my Cube, Sail into the West is what I wanted for that spot. I also love that it is an instant to fit with what blue likes to do.
Deathclaw and Trophy would also be my choices for BG from a raw power level perspective. Deathclaw is cooler but Trophy seems more versatile.

Good callout on the last piece. If cards are close enough in power level then the one with less things to track is typically preferable.
I am really excited to try out this card. I think it's going to be terrific.
That is all

Genuinely curious for feedback on this card.
