    It amuses me to think of the Animated Blade equipped with a weapon.

    Would be awesome if he gained a stat bonus every time he disarmed an opponent.

    but you are right. we are light in the anti-equip section.
    sucks to get the distract thingy on bone circle guy :p Is it worth running a librarian for eq/detect? hmmm

    I'd run that for sure, i also liked your other idea of every time he destroys a weapon getting a stat bonus.

    Whirl of blades. Domain dmz.
    Splintering.

    U1: all those provision abilities.
    U2: sword breaker, pilfer, snatch (whatever anti equip)

    Pretty sure Swordbreaker wont work with Whirl. SB specifies basic attack.

    I completely agree with this, however i think the issue here really is that people just want a reliable source of shatter for skeletons. I personally think there should be a source of things like Detect and Shatter for each theme.

    He is a reliable source of shatter. But the rune isn't super great, so there's a slightly higher cost to gaining that utility compared to other themes. This means that Skeletons will have to make trade-offs -- and also become better or worse -- as things like equipment and stealth become more or less prevalent in a format.

    Again i agree but i think you are understating the matter, he is definitely a lot worse than super great. I'm inclined to say a simple rearrangement of stats would fix the issue, the 7 speed is somewhat unnecessary and as a melee champ it would certainly seem more viable with some extra HP or Defense.

    I'd like to steer him clear of being a second bonemauler so splintering is a bad idea. Provision abilities don't really make sense fw only has a few good equips.

    Race to spirit, skeleton his flavor text says nothing about being a skelly at all but it does talk about spirits and the art looks like a flying skull with spirit characteristics.

    How is a cheap flying spd 7 that can threaten 20+ dmg if you get too close NOT a good shatter champ? The flying spd 7 alone makes it a first turn option doesn't it?

    Because it has less HP than the average Moga.

    I tend to avoid champs that cost double the nora to hp ratio but that's just me, their have been a lot of suggestions to change him and i have liked quite a few of them so far.

    @Sokolov @Moles you like any of these changes so far ?
