New mechanic!!!
Relic Hunter
1W
Creature - Human Soldier
Fame 1 (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, if this creature is not famous, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes famous.)
When Relic Hunter becomes famous, you may search your library for an Equipment card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
2/2

I hope the translation is wrong. Famous sounds dumb.
Love the card though.

Fame sounds decent, Famous sounds dumb. Renown would be much better.

It's a little like Monstrous, but takes more to enable than simply tapping mana, and won't occur at instant speed. - It's ability relies on the creature actually getting through, making (usually) it easier in early game and harder in late game. - Though giving creatures with these abilities Haste could be a thing.
The slightly harder method of enabling might have given Development room for better/stronger abilities when you do trigger it... we'll have to wait and see.

agreed with that. This is a pretty strong early spoil for the mechanic, as we all know with the power of equipment and Stoneforge. Hopefully there will be some more that have alot of potential like this little beauty!

This is actually a very, very good card. It's balanced by the fact that it's somewhat hard to trigger - but once it does it pays dividends. I like it a lot.
It's not stoneforge mystic by any stretch but it's still on the higher end of the power level spectrum.

Could be decent in EDH. I like it. It's a really cool and interactive ability.

Renown and trample make a great pair. On a 4/4 (starting) body, even more so.

So Spellmastery is in 
...
I'm hoping for something like:
"Spellmaster's Vision" -
Sorcery
Draw a Card
Spellmastery - If there are two or more Instant and/or Sorcery spells in your graveyard, Instead draw a card then Scry 2.

So this was mistranslated? It is renown?
Also, what rarity is this at?

The ability keyword is renown as it says on an english card here Magicrafter. I think it is at rare.

Yeah, looked it up on mythicspoiler. He's also a buy-a-box promo.

Good thing that it is called renown... famous would have been a lame name.

Yeah, agreed. "Renown" is so much better than "Famous".
I like the power level of some of these cards, which is weird. I usually don't like Standard-legal sets, but this one has 'Stoneforge Hunter' and the better-than-Mutilate budget-Damnation (read: Languish (link))

wow that second ability is epic. This is a variant of monstrous really though, and it's a bit tired. It's still nice to get new mechanics though i suppose, adds to the card pool for this type of thing in. And a conditional Stoneforge Mystic is pretty sick for 1W, Tiny leaders and EDH rejoice!
