10 Most Powerful Equipments In Magic: The Gathering
8. Sword Of Animist
Here, we have the equipment which is perfect for all those ramp decks you have, especially the multi-coloured ones. The +1/+1 bonus is a nice addition, but definitely not what makes the card so powerful, as each time the equipped creature attacks you get to add a tapped basic land to the board from your deck.
This is perfect for finding that red mana you’re just missing when playing your rainbow/WUBRG deck but can also balance your mana base in a dual/tri coloured deck too, making this artifact very versatile. If you’re not playing something with ramp cards, you might even consider shoving this in your mono-colour deck just for the extra ramp potential.
Furthermore, the creature doesn’t even need to do any damage on the attack – as long as it attacks you get this mana. Put this on a creature with double strike, and suddenly you’re getting two free lands a turn and ramping your way towards an early victory.
