Armory Mice enters as a 2/2, then grows into a 3/3 with lifelink and vigilance the moment you equip anything — payoff and body in one card for two mana. In the right equipment deck it overperforms its cost; outside of that shell it's a vanilla bear with upside that never triggers.

In Commander, Armory Mice is a role-player in dedicated equipment decks and little else — the floor is a 2/2 for two, which doesn't move the needle in a 100-card singleton format. In Pauper, equipment-based aggro has real support, and a two-mana common that punches as a 3/3 with lifelink and vigilance is genuinely competitive when the equip costs are cheap. In Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, Armory Mice is outclassed by the format's speed and the quality of other equipment payoffs. Standard is where it has the most legitimate claim outside Commander — a low floor but a ceiling that comes online early when the format supports efficient equipment.
