Ghostfire Blade puts +2/+2 and equipped for one mana on any colorless creature — that's an absurd rate by Equipment standards. The catch is the equip restriction: anything with a color identity can't wear it, which makes the card irrelevant outside dedicated colorless builds.

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog
Traxos, Scourge of Kroog is itself a colorless Historic permanent, so Ghostfire Blade equips for one and turns an already-massive trampler into a 9/4 — and casting the Blade to trigger Traxos's untap clause means the two cards actively unlock each other.

Ghostfire Blade is a Commander card almost exclusively — colorless-creature strategies in 60-card formats rarely have the density of eligible bodies to justify it. In Modern and Pioneer, Equipment payoffs like Colossus Hammer or Kaldra Compleat occupy the same design space with fewer hoops. Legacy has the raw power of Stoneforge Mystic, which tutors up far better targets. In Commander, dedicated colorless decks — Eldrazi, artifact creatures, the occasional Devoid tribal build — run Ghostfire Blade as a dirt-cheap, high-upside threat multiplier that scales well in a slower, multiplayer environment.

Historically it's sat in the bulk-rare range, which makes it an easy pickup for any colorless Commander build — the effect is strong enough that the price rarely needs to justify itself.
