Spiked Ripsaw gives a creature +2/+0 and trample until end of turn — and then you get to steal an Equipment from any graveyard and attach it for free. The on-board pump is fine; the grave-robbing is the actual reason to run it.

Spiked Ripsaw is a Commander card through and through — graveyard recursion scales with the number of opponents and the volume of Equipment hitting the bin across a four-player game. In Legacy, Modern, or Pioneer, a three-mana instant that pumps and grabs a potentially dead Equipment rarely clears the bar when proactive threats demand faster answers. Oathbreaker offers the same graveyard-rich environment as Commander in miniature, so the card stays relevant there. Treat it as a 99-slot tool, not a constructed staple.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Spiked Ripsaw is deep bulk — you're paying for cardboard, not scarcity. Given that it's a narrow role-player rather than a broadly sought staple, that price floor is likely to stay exactly where it is.
