If this does make it in i would like to try mono gravity it sounds fun to use good job

[Dwerg]

lower the atk or raise the cost and it'll be nice
if we consider that ability to be equivalent or at least almost as worthy as momentum(5 for titan[7/8 atk]) or immateriality(5 for morning star[7/8 atk])
It's cost is too low, and for the versatility of that weapon I guess it is equivalent or better than said abilities.

Something I haven't seen addressed with this.  The current wording of this seems to indicate that the ability can be used over and over again.  Is this the case, or does it happen only once, a la Deja Vu?  And if it does happen more than once, doe the ATK of the second & beyond absorbed weapons keep on adding to this one?

I think it works like crusader, aka one-time-use.

[majofa]

Yes, it's one-time use... and, again, your opponent has to have a weapon.

OK, my opinions:

1) lower attack to 4/5, maybe.
2) doesn't fly when it's ability is activated.
3) Opponent's weapon is delayed for two turns, intead of destroyed.

1) probably going to do that
2) it gets a magnetic charge and is able to 'hover'
3) the opponent's weapon is magnetically pulled into the Magnetic Sword and they form a 'hybrid sword'

The only advantage of crusader is HP - everywhere else, that weapon is more powerful.
Redundant and more powerful than an already very powerful card = me no likey.

1) Typically Weapons get a 3quanta cost reduction because they occupy the Weapon slot.
2) Typically a 2-3|1 activation cost on a creature is equivalent to a 3|2 activation cost on a weapon.
3) The animating effect is a bonus on top of the Endow ability and partially negates point 1.
4) Endow on a weapon is not quite as useful because it has 1 less valid target.

Seems quite a bit overpowered to me. Low costing high hitting weapon with the ability to steal the enemy's weapon to use against them. You need to change something about it to balance it more in my opinion. If you keep the same abilities and hit, you should raise the cost of the weapon and the ability pretty significantly. Still, its a pretty cool card.

Just pointing it out: If you or your opponent is flying weapons, then there's more than 1 less valid target.

It is true that the current ability has even fewer valid targets than Endow on a Weapon.

When you play a deck with Crusaders, you usually plan on Endowing your own weapon.
