This card is so ridiculously good, it dominated the game for years and actually changed the entire design philosophy the game is built around
The equip ability on its own, without outside help from cards like Leonin Shikari, cannot be activated at instant speed, so if you play an Artificers Hex on an equipment thats already attached to a creature, they will not be able to remove that equipment before they are in their main phase, guaranteeing you a dead creature
It seemed solid to me
The final Galar region TCG release will feature a massive setlist of cards, from both Japanese sets Incandescent Arcana and Paradigm Trigger
Unfortunately, being one mana is a bit of a downside for a card like this because of its unfortunate interaction with Chalice of the Void, and cards like Diabolic Edict or any other two mana removal is probably a little more worthwhile
The card is structurally compromised and does not lie flat
