10 Most Powerful Equipments In Magic: The Gathering

1. Sword Of _____

No, you didn't read that title wrong and yes, the end of this is omitted on purpose. While technically 5 cards rather than one, these equipment cards are so closely linked to one another that it would be impossible to separate them – also, if they were separated, they would easily all get on this list. They all have the same costs, 3 mana to cast and 2 to equip, and each grants the equipped creature a buff of +2/+2 and protection from two colours, dependant on which sword it is.

Sword of Body and Mind mills your opponent’s deck and gives you a 2/2, Sword of Feast and Famine forces your opponent to discard and untaps all of your lands, Sword of War and Peace deals damage to your opponent and gives you life, both equal to your hand size, Sword of Fire and Ice deals 2 damage and lets you draw a card, and sword of Light and Shadow deals damage, gives you life, and lets you return a creature from your graveyard to your hand.

All of these sword are phenomenal in their own right, and as none of them are legendary you can have multiple of each in non-singleton decks. In terms of tournament play, these swords make a great sideboard as you can easily substitute in the one which gives you the most protection against your opponent’s deck.
