I dislike this having the forgettable non-spirit clause on it, but its almost certainly there to keep you and your opponent from bouncing each others Roaming Ghostlights
Ive activated Sunforger a few times thinking that I still had Holy Day in the deckbut its been somewhere north of four years since I took it out
The deck can rapidly generate tokens with cards like Bootleggers' Stash and the famously powerful Dockside Extortionist
On Modern, particularly, it caused problems due to buffing the infamous Elemental Money Pile deck, a deck that ran Risen Reef, four-color Omnath and four of the pitch elementals as the abusable ETB effects of choice, all of which have been mentioned on this page already for being game-breakers themselves

I wonder how this plays out when I compare it to the Black Lotus for the masses, Gilded Lotus (5 Tap: Add three mana of any one color to your mana pool.) This is hard to setup: you need to spend four mana to equip a creature, then the creature needs to deal damage mid game to your opponent-which means that an unblockable or Trample creature will do the trick best
