Da Fuq with Lirpa... I mean, seriously?!
I think it's because (1) it's a broken link, and (2) it's easy to vote for a card concept when you're not responsible for coming up with the gametext.
And YES, as a designer on The Cage who worked on Lirpa and ultimately supported cutting it from The Cage for being a boring card, you can consider this comment an open invitation to start posting your ideas for Lirpa. We cut it because (A) nobody wanted another boring
Bat'leth/
Kar'takin clone, (B) making Vulcans more violent in personnel battles fits neither the flavor of the affiliation nor the story of the card, since the Lirpa is really strictly a ceremonial weapon, and (C) we didn't have any other ideas that fit on three lines and functioned like an equipment. I've often wondered how we could have made that card work.

Me too. It's a nice open-ended story that has a lot of flexibility to be made into a lot of different possible cards. It doesn't make it more difficult to make other cards from the same story. And the other cards that were like this have mostly been wiped out at this point. (Warrior's Anthem could still do some fun stuff.)
Transporter Duplication and T'Pau are probably my faves at this point.
I'd also love Lirpa if anyone could just convince me there's a decent gameplay concept to go with the story.
