While the cost does not seem like much, this card does have its own set of disadvantages.

One, you need to discard a specific card to equip this card. While that does not seem much of a problem, especially if one uses galahad to get the card back, it would be quite problematic for equip change. Maybe for the first two times the equip cost would not be a problem, but the third time onward it would get harder and harder to equip this item. Also, so far holy grail is legend's world only defense card, probably the best one, so you are sacrificing defense for offense. Unless legend world has more gauge increasing cards and defense counter cards, this card overtime would be too costly if equipment change is used often.

Second, unless the nullify translation is off, each world does have some counters against this card's attack. Dragon world: dragonic move, dragonic paratrooper, dragobond(if used with move), white dragon shield(excalibur's attack cannot be nullified, but the damage can still be reduced), and drago barrier. Magic world: quick summon, chillax, barriermaster, shadowflash, and oops. Katana world: art of item blasting, Tsuikikage, lethal formation, shooting star, demon way, oborogenbu, art of body replacement, sword skill, and bare hand intercept(somewhat). Danger world: battle aura circle, double guillotine, phoenix wall, and armorknight cerberus(if you have enough soul). Ancient world: wraith trigger, any soulguard size 3 unit, glacies, and dragon outlaw(if defense is 8k or more). Dungeon world: divine protection of shalsana

Three: if it an item card, it can be destroyed by item destruction cards.
