Here is the text from two cards I mentioned to pick up yesterday.
Batterskull
Artifact - Equipment (M)
Living weapon
Equipped creature gets +4/+4 and has vigilance and lifelink.
: Return Batterskull to its owner's hand.
Equip
This card has already gone from $9.99 on Star City Games to $19.99 in a day! Not to mention the pros talking about(albeit not as much as Mental Misstep).
Sword of War and Peace
Artifact - Equipment (M)
Equipped creature gets +2/+2 and has protection from red and from white.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, Sword of War and Peace deals damage to that player equal to the number of cards in his or her hand and you gain 1 life for each card in your hand.
Equip
I think with both of these equipments out this will push the idea of maindeck artifact hate in standard. Even with artifact hate being abundant I'm sure Stoneforge Mystic will still be seeing a lot of play and will continue to rise. Also yesterday I didn't mention this as I was mainly talking about the new cards but I think Jace, the Mind Sculptor will drop in price. If you are expecting to get ~$75 out of this card I'd move it now.
If you have not yet seen the full spoiler you can see the text form of it at MTGSalvation.
