Chariot of Victory seems like a pretty solid equipment... Probably the most likely to be playable behind Godsend . Haste, First Strike and Trample for 1 equip cost is a petty good deal.
Not sure if it's quite there though... Thoughts?
Helm of Kaldra 's a good equipment. This is that without the Legendary, and for slightly less to equip. Might not be standard playable per se, but I think it's good.

I wouldn't say it's constructed playable; it's got a ways to go.
I wouldn't even say Godsend is constructed playable. It's decent, but.... bleh. It's only a Mythic because it's Elspeth's weapon.
In Limited, though, both are first-pick material.

I can easily see this being a 1x maybe 2x in creature-heavy decks, especially hydras decks which people will definitely be brewing because they are cool just being hydras. It's very well balanced as a card and will definitely see Voltron EDH decks as well.

In EDH, it has to go up against Lightning Greaves and/or Swiftfoot Boots , both of which are much better to have if you're trying to play Voltron.

it's ok but why would you play this when you could play Fanatic of Xenagos , Domri Rade Thassa, God of the Sea yadeeyadeeya

I'd say anyone running monster lists will be salivating at the thought of this card. With a Chariot of Victory on the table your basically paying 1cmc extra for your big guy to gain trample, first strike and haste. I'd pay 3GG for a Polukranos, World Eater or 3GGG for a Arbor Colossus with those ability's tagged on. With all the ramp in the world R/G monsters really like this. Throw in a Bow of Nylea and your monsters will be hitting like trucks the turn they come down.

It's good. Really good. If only for the Haste.
