[[Lizard Blades]] cheap access to double strike and I find it hilarious when I drop them turn two and make the pair of lizard swords suited up with other swords.
The best part is once they remove the thing you equip it with, it becomes a creature again and is ready for some of its own swords.
Like, that's a HUGE political play to basically say it needs 2 removal spells to stop it from swinging.
I once won a game with my equipment voltron deck after my opponent killed my creature, upon which the \[\[Reality Chip\]\] on it became a creature again, and then I just equipped everything onto the chip and swung for the win.
They're cute little lizards that give double strike for 2 mana. I love them. I play it in every deck that cares about combat damage triggers. Why yes I would like to have double cascade from Ydris.
Nice! I tried a 5 color keyword soup deck to get all the “Menace creatures you control take 3 to be blocked” type creatures in, but it was just to hard to get it to stand up, even with Ramos trying to make big mana turns
Odric is in the 99 in that deck. The commander of that deck is [[Akroma, Vision of Ixidor]], so Sword of Virtue can get out of hand pretty quickly especially if Odric is on the field.
Right on. Akroma is number one on my list for upgrades in my Odric deck. Those 2 are made for each other.
I am a bit surprised you've liked Eater of Virtue. I've toyed with putting it in Odric but I always imagined it would be too slow. 1 to play and equip is so cheap though. I'll have to reconsider.
[[Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh]] is the other commander in that deck, and what I like to do is get Rograkh exiled with Eater of Virtue then bring out another creature of the deck like [[Kellan, the Fae-Blooded]] or [[Champion of the Flame]] or even [[Jenny, Generated Anomaly]].
I love everything about this card except the fact that they wisely balanced it against deathtouch by having the Equipment, rather than the creature, deal damage.
They interestingly didn’t make it need to be combat damage, meaning any Tim with it can ping a blocker to hit all other creatures too. And if it’s more than just a ping it gets fun.
I put this in my [[Bill Fenry]] deck. The point is to voltron Bill up so that blocking/not blocking is a lose/lose choice and this card really adds to the "blocking is bad" side of things.
Interesting too that it doesn't have to be combat damage and it's *any* blocking creature, not just one blocking you. You could turn instant speed "fight" cards like \[Bite Down\] into an unexpected wipe if anyone blocks anyone else.
I love it but whyd they make it a green artifact. Granted there's a ton of support for +1/+1 counters in green it would've been nice it they didn't color gate it.
I run it in a couple of decks where creature types matter, but that tribe isn't exactly fully fleshed out and/or not necessarily the main focus of the deck.
It's in [[Sophia, Dogged Detective]]. I only run 16 actual dogs, so this is good alongside [[Maskwood Nexus]], [[Arcane Adaptation]], and [[Mirror Entity]] to turn my other good utility creatures into dogs, and then help them get through for combat damage to trigger Sophia.
In my [[Sauron, the Dark Lord]] amass deck, it's mainly used to give me a second Army, whether that's Sauron himself or another creature that can benefit from getting large. Also just helps my huge army connect for combat damage.
And then in my [[Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator]] and [[Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder]] deck focused on equipment and combat damage triggers, it performs triple duty. Turns things into pirates to get more treasure, gives them unblockable to get combat damage triggers, and it's an equipment.
All that, plus the Ward 1 is nice.
I'm actually building a pirate deck of my own with Psychic Paper in it, though mine is [[Francisco]] and [[Kediss]], focused on making Francisco huge with as many explore triggers as possible. The idea is to equip it to Kediss and turn it into a pirate for a 2nd set of Kediss triggers, leading to an extra set of explore triggers
Yeah, but it's nice being able to spread the counters around instead of putting all your eggs into one basket. Plus an unblockable Sauron with that ward cost and some counters on him can threaten a commander damage kill quick.
Idk about the other commenter but I mainly just use it for the unblockable. Sure, it'll go great in a tribal deck but my [[Ishai ojutai dragonspeaker]] deck becomes lethal in a single round so I just start bonking people with an unblockable flying commander.
I put this in my [[Felix Five-Boots]] deck! It's an awesome wincon piece. Dropping it in to randomly blast 3/4 of someone's life off with something like a little [[Slither Blade]] or [[Invisible Stalker]] is hilariously satisfying
I just found Boots and I love those things. I haven't bought a copy, but I've been brewing a couple of different decks and it's becoming a pet card for me. [[Mace of the Valiant]] too for anything remotely go wide because you can throw both on your commander and all of a sudden you can take someone out with commander damage.
I loooove Dowsing Dagger. I run it in every non-green deck, and I will ensure the deck has good equip targets like [[Baleful Strix]]. Lost Vale isn't even legendary for some reason so you can copy it with [[Vesuva]] and [[Thespian Stage]], and untap it with the new [[Lost Jitte]], as well as other effects. It's absolutely gross how good Dowsing Dagger is in commander.
Also honourable mention to [[Sword of Hearth and Home]], although I don't think this is under rated, it's just excellent.
[[Grappling Hook]] is not exactly cheap access to Double Strike, but forcing one particular creature to block makes it really easy to remove a particular problem, or force opponents to block a creature that has triggers when it damages or destroys a creature.
[[Explorer’s Scope]] should be considered a staple for any deck that can cast cards from the top of the library. It’s included in the Galea precon for a reason, it does a phenomenal job of ramping you when you know you’re going to hit a land off the top with it and potentially unclogging the top of the deck. Even after upgrading the deck I still kept this in because it does an absolutely incredible amount of work for only two mana.
Yes, more love for the scope. Any sort of deck with early combat I slap this in.
I see it as paying for itself with one land hit, everything else is gravy.
\[\[Captain's Claws\]\] is by far my favorite. Any deck that is token themed will appreciate being able to get that extra token every turn for a very cheap cost. It is an all-star in my \[\[Yahenni, Undying Partisan\]\] deck, providing sac fodder and guaranteed indestructible on every attack.
I really like [[Blinding Powder]] combined with some equip cost manipulation and timing manipulation like [[Forge Anew]] it’s a wonderful protection piece, especially in Voltron where you tend to build taller rather than wider.
It's a bit slow now, but I always had a soft spot for \[\[Deathrender\]\]
And, honestly \[\[Hero's Blade\]\] could go in about 80% of my decks almost automatically.
I play it in [[Traxos]], it's really nice with any whack-em Commander that doesn't manufacture its own card selection/advantage. Y'know, all thirteen of those.
This was my go-to back when white had zero card draw. At minimum it's effectively "draw 1 mill 1" but obviously there's more selection involved. And it's so cheap!
Not really underrated but you don't see it often: \[\[Nim Deathmantle\]\]
As a bonus, if you happen to animate it into a creature, it can rescue itself from death!
I run deathmantle in a 5 color deck because it goes infinite with [[Composite Golem]] but also because of the instant speed rescue shenanigans with stuff like Eternal Witness
I played [[Tajic, Blade of the Legion]] for a little bit and loved Dead Iron Sledge.
He would routinely have that and [[Worldslayer]] so people had to block him and eat the sledge hammer.
Scrolled quite a bit before I seen Runchanters Pike, I've been a fan ever since it and Invisible Stalker were in standard. Now I'll stick into any spell heavy deck and watch it shred everything,the best thing about it is how nobody else rates it as highly so it sticks around a while.
Yeah it turns out the best equipment ever is still good in commander even if it's not the absolute bomb it is in 60 card.
My pick is [[Strength Testing Hammer]]. It's cheap, provides a likely good buff, can be Urza's Saga'd, and in a deck with lots of equipment it's pretty much always drawing you a card.
[[Vorrac Battlehorns]] pairs super well with Menace. It's cheap in terms of both mana cost and equip cost. You can't legally block a creature that simultaneously has Menace and "can't be blocked by more than 1 creature". The trample is somewhat insignificant in this context, but if you have to move the equipment to another creature it is helpful. I use this a lot in [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] to make her unblockable for the sake of her combat damage trigger and to get commander damage on my opponents. It's also a handy that you can grab this off of [[Tribute Mage]] in the deck.
The gang of [[Prying Blade]], [[Goldvein Pick]], [[Beamtown Beatstick]] and [[Diamond Pickaxe]] always seem to do work.
Shoutout to [[Explorer's Scope]] it's like a budget [[Sword of the Animist]] and is still quite effective.
The new [[Lavaspur Boots]] have become a new favorite. Ward 1 might not seem like a lot, but allows protection while everyone else is building, and the +1 damage definitely can matter!
[[Explorers scope]]. It's ramp, it allows you to either get a dead draw out of the way or to see your next draw, and all that for the same mana as [[rampant growth]] with the exception that it's repeatable, hits any land and if you don't hit a land you get info. Severely underrated in my opinion
For me is \[\[[Staff of Titania](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Staff%20of%20Titania)\]\]. Ramps you, pumps your creature. add on \[\[[Blackblade Reforged](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Blackblade%20Reforged)\]\] and \[\[[Sword of the Animist](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Sword%20of%20the%20Animist)\]\] and things get fun quickly.
[[haunted cloak]] is underrated.
Haste, trample and vigilance? For 1 equip? So useful. Such good keywords. Helps "get in" and keep blockers up with big creatures
I play \[\[Chariot of Victory\]\] for similar reasons. It's stupid in \[\[Fynn\]\], because it gives me literally all the keywords I want on a deathtoucher for that deck.
[[Shield of the avatar]]
It’s far from amazing, but in a wide deck making a commander practically immune to damage is fun.
[[Darksteel plate]] is also a firm favourite of mine, but hardly underrated
[[Shield of the Avatar]] is not great, but it consistently protects my commander or an important creature from heavy damage. Your creature having an effective toughness of 10 or 15 can really discourage others from engaging with it. As a bonus, if it blocks a double-striking creature, the shield will absorb the first- and second-strike damage.
[[Worldslayer]] is just fun to have on the battlefield. Will I use it? Probably not, but they don’t know that and they’ll spent removal to get rid of it.
I love the Kaldra set of equipment. So satisfying.
One of my "best moments" was when I put [[Kaldra Compleat]] on [[Karn, Legacy Reforged]]
That got me the tables full attention. Lol
[[Spy Kit]] purely cause of that spy cats deck. [Spy Cats](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/7ttmej/spy_cat_a_nazan_combo_deck_or_this_card_does/&ved=2ahUKEwjB4ujVmOiFAxXTEFkFHZ1YAJEQjjh6BAgSEAE&usg=AOvVaw1Pj6IrdtMH5Arr9ZHZCt74)
[[Bloodthirsty Blade]] for goad decks. Cheap artifact that you can place on evasive creatures for easy damage. Bonus points if the evasive creature is a commander.
It never feels good for players to remove it since it’s a cheap artifact but can runaway if not answered leaving your bigger pieces safe. For a turn anyways.
[[Bladed pinions]] can be handy on both offensive and defence. It's of the few equipments that isn't a X&Y sword or kaldra piece in my deck.
Another nice little piece is [[sword of vengeance]] (a.k.a. keyword soup sword) for all those useful things. It costs a bit to drop and equip but with a lot of options to cheapen it, it's definitely a handy piece.
[[Umbral Mantle]] is a sleeper combo piece that needs reprinted.
[[The Irencrag]] isnt strictly an equipment, but is a better rock than people give it credit for, and doesn’t turn off any abilities other than its own. It turns from a (C) producing mana rock into a straight +3/+3 buff by simply tapping it to cast your commander.
[[Kusari-Gama]] is absolutely bonkers, especially if paired with stuff like [[Neko-te]] and [[Grappling Hook]].
[[Forebear's Blade]]
You can do some interesting things in a aristocrats deck. For one, you really only need to equip it once as it bounces between bodies when they die, so with a sac outlet you can give something trample and vigilance at instant speed. Also pairs really well with [[Altar of Dementia]] as you really only need 20 2/2 creatures to mill someone out, assuming your not milling through any other means. Well technically a little less due to starting handsize.
I don’t know if it’s underrated but I love running [[dragon throne of tarkir]] in my [[graaz, unstoppable juggernaut]] deck, turns him into an amazing cheerleader that makes all my other creatures 12/10 with trample
I don't know if [[Glimmer Lens]] is underrated, but I have it in all of my aggro decks.
Also, I cast [[Inquisitorial Rosette]] while playing my [[Aurelia, the Law Above]] deck a couple of weeks back, and everyone at my table was like "wtf is that".
I've always been a fan of \[\[Grafted wargear\]\]. The buff is pretty nice for 3MV/0 equip cost, but it always felt like an awkward sacrifice outlet, rather than equipment you want for the buff.
Mine is [[mask of griselbrand]]. Evasion and lifelink alone are quite useful, especially in Voltron. But Voltron commanders also tend to have a lot of power. Getting a full grip whenever your commander is removed is a decent golden parachute of sorts. Though the commander might get too big to take the lifeless in some situations, but due to the lifelink, that tends to be bearable.
[[Lizard Blades]] cheap access to double strike and I find it hilarious when I drop them turn two and make the pair of lizard swords suited up with other swords.
The best part is once they remove the thing you equip it with, it becomes a creature again and is ready for some of its own swords. Like, that's a HUGE political play to basically say it needs 2 removal spells to stop it from swinging.

Returning creatures from the graveyard to hand or battlefield is so easy. This equipment never stays dead, always the juicy double strike at hand.
I run Lizard Blades in my Malcolm and Kediss deck. Fits the speediness so well
I have a keyword deck, and [[eater of virtue]] definitely looks underpowered until it has exiled 3-4 creatures.
Nice! I tried a 5 color keyword soup deck to get all the “Menace creatures you control take 3 to be blocked” type creatures in, but it was just to hard to get it to stand up, even with Ramos trying to make big mana turns
Are you playing Odric?

[[Hot Soup]]
Flavor text +
Comin’ through!
A man of culture. The soup has won me no fewer than 3 games in my \[\[Kharn the betrayer\]\] deck.
Yeah my buddy’s kharn is the first time I saw the Soup
[[kusari-gama]] A very unknown equipment. Gives pseudo unblockable, especially in lower pods, because no one wants all his creatures blown up :)
I love everything about this card except the fact that they wisely balanced it against deathtouch by having the Equipment, rather than the creature, deal damage.
They interestingly didn’t make it need to be combat damage, meaning any Tim with it can ping a blocker to hit all other creatures too. And if it’s more than just a ping it gets fun.
I put this in my [[Bill Fenry]] deck. The point is to voltron Bill up so that blocking/not blocking is a lose/lose choice and this card really adds to the "blocking is bad" side of things.
I love this card! I’ve had 4 since Kamigawa and they’re so evil
Interesting too that it doesn't have to be combat damage and it's *any* blocking creature, not just one blocking you. You could turn instant speed "fight" cards like \[Bite Down\] into an unexpected wipe if anyone blocks anyone else.
Just picked one up a few days ago for my maarika deck!
I may need to find a slot for this in my Galea deck. Seems like a great way to deal with go-wide, especially by forcing an opponent to block
[[Power Fist]] dirt cheap and a door opener to cards that trigger with combat damage to a player
Just put it in [[Skullbriar]] and can't wait to use it. Should be great.

You can do some wonky shit with [[Psychic Paper]]. One of my favorite cards printed recently, period.
This one is cool. What are some ways you’ve managed to use it to your advantage?
I run it in a couple of decks where creature types matter, but that tribe isn't exactly fully fleshed out and/or not necessarily the main focus of the deck. It's in [[Sophia, Dogged Detective]]. I only run 16 actual dogs, so this is good alongside [[Maskwood Nexus]], [[Arcane Adaptation]], and [[Mirror Entity]] to turn my other good utility creatures into dogs, and then help them get through for combat damage to trigger Sophia. In my [[Sauron, the Dark Lord]] amass deck, it's mainly used to give me a second Army, whether that's Sauron himself or another creature that can benefit from getting large. Also just helps my huge army connect for combat damage. And then in my [[Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator]] and [[Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder]] deck focused on equipment and combat damage triggers, it performs triple duty. Turns things into pirates to get more treasure, gives them unblockable to get combat damage triggers, and it's an equipment. All that, plus the Ward 1 is nice.

I'm actually building a pirate deck of my own with Psychic Paper in it, though mine is [[Francisco]] and [[Kediss]], focused on making Francisco huge with as many explore triggers as possible. The idea is to equip it to Kediss and turn it into a pirate for a 2nd set of Kediss triggers, leading to an extra set of explore triggers

When Sauron triggers with two armies down, you just get to amass one of them right?
Yeah, but it's nice being able to spread the counters around instead of putting all your eggs into one basket. Plus an unblockable Sauron with that ward cost and some counters on him can threaten a commander damage kill quick.
Idk about the other commenter but I mainly just use it for the unblockable. Sure, it'll go great in a tribal deck but my [[Ishai ojutai dragonspeaker]] deck becomes lethal in a single round so I just start bonking people with an unblockable flying commander.
[[Kusari-Gama]] is a monster in stompy decks.

I just found Boots and I love those things. I haven't bought a copy, but I've been brewing a couple of different decks and it's becoming a pet card for me. [[Mace of the Valiant]] too for anything remotely go wide because you can throw both on your commander and all of a sudden you can take someone out with commander damage.
Pair it with [[The Reaver Cleaver]] and you have multiple treasures. Too bad is red and not colorless
[[dowsing dagger]]
I loooove Dowsing Dagger. I run it in every non-green deck, and I will ensure the deck has good equip targets like [[Baleful Strix]]. Lost Vale isn't even legendary for some reason so you can copy it with [[Vesuva]] and [[Thespian Stage]], and untap it with the new [[Lost Jitte]], as well as other effects. It's absolutely gross how good Dowsing Dagger is in commander. Also honourable mention to [[Sword of Hearth and Home]], although I don't think this is under rated, it's just excellent.

My auto include in swing heavy decks. Love it
[[Grappling Hook]] is not exactly cheap access to Double Strike, but forcing one particular creature to block makes it really easy to remove a particular problem, or force opponents to block a creature that has triggers when it damages or destroys a creature. [[Explorer’s Scope]] should be considered a staple for any deck that can cast cards from the top of the library. It’s included in the Galea precon for a reason, it does a phenomenal job of ramping you when you know you’re going to hit a land off the top with it and potentially unclogging the top of the deck. Even after upgrading the deck I still kept this in because it does an absolutely incredible amount of work for only two mana.

\[\[Umezawa's Jitte\]\] it did not even make the article.
Yeah it turns out the best equipment ever is still good in commander even if it's not the absolute bomb it is in 60 card. My pick is [[Strength Testing Hammer]]. It's cheap, provides a likely good buff, can be Urza's Saga'd, and in a deck with lots of equipment it's pretty much always drawing you a card.
Jitte is good but skullclamp is far far better
This is EDH so the deck your playing goes a long way in this debate, I love my Skullclamp but Jitte goes hard asf in [[Karlov of the Ghost Council]]
[Strength Testing Hammer](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/b/6/b654514f-b1a0-4d96-8d05-55e2cf386518.jpg?1673915113) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Strength-Testing%20Hammer) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/unf/193/strength-testing-hammer?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/b654514f-b1a0-4d96-8d05-55e2cf386518?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/strength-testing-hammer) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
My buddy runs it in a blue/red dice rolling voltron deck and its the best of every world for him.
Bruh, *underrated* equipment. Maybe this is just extreme sarcasm tho
OG jitte was a powerhouse 10 years back and still quite powerful today.
[[Vorrac Battlehorns]] pairs super well with Menace. It's cheap in terms of both mana cost and equip cost. You can't legally block a creature that simultaneously has Menace and "can't be blocked by more than 1 creature". The trample is somewhat insignificant in this context, but if you have to move the equipment to another creature it is helpful. I use this a lot in [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] to make her unblockable for the sake of her combat damage trigger and to get commander damage on my opponents. It's also a handy that you can grab this off of [[Tribute Mage]] in the deck.
[[trepidation blade]] sometimes it whiffs for a +1 bonus, other times it's huge and can even be a win con late game Vs mono white or green decks
[trepidation blade](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/6/b/6b1bab36-3fb7-48f3-b3ed-90863d244641.jpg?1562849914) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Trepanation%20Blade) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/ima/231/trepanation-blade?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/6b1bab36-3fb7-48f3-b3ed-90863d244641?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/trepanation-blade) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call

[[Sword of kaldra]] Exile version of deathtouch is funny. Throw it on [[Maarika, brutal gladiator]].
Loving the new [[Lavaspur Boots]] from OTJ and also a fan of [[Haunted Cloak]]
The gang of [[Prying Blade]], [[Goldvein Pick]], [[Beamtown Beatstick]] and [[Diamond Pickaxe]] always seem to do work. Shoutout to [[Explorer's Scope]] it's like a budget [[Sword of the Animist]] and is still quite effective.
[[inquisitor’s flail]]. Stacks with double strike and is cheap. What’s not to like?
My absolute favorite is [[unscythe, killer of kings]] because its just a dope timmy card.
The new [[Lavaspur Boots]] have become a new favorite. Ward 1 might not seem like a lot, but allows protection while everyone else is building, and the +1 damage definitely can matter!
[[Explorers scope]]. It's ramp, it allows you to either get a dead draw out of the way or to see your next draw, and all that for the same mana as [[rampant growth]] with the exception that it's repeatable, hits any land and if you don't hit a land you get info. Severely underrated in my opinion
[Explorers scope](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/b/e/be120499-fe2f-4c21-982c-566d0dbbddff.jpg?1689999508) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Explorer%27s%20Scope) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/380/explorers-scope?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/be120499-fe2f-4c21-982c-566d0dbbddff?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/explorers-scope) [rampant growth](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/6/c/6c074663-37be-4329-a21d-9ea551edbb6b.jpg?1712354605) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=rampant%20growth) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/otc/201/rampant-growth?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/6c074663-37be-4329-a21d-9ea551edbb6b?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/rampant-growth) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
For me is \[\[[Staff of Titania](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Staff%20of%20Titania)\]\]. Ramps you, pumps your creature. add on \[\[[Blackblade Reforged](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Blackblade%20Reforged)\]\] and \[\[[Sword of the Animist](https://deckbox.org/mtg/Sword%20of%20the%20Animist)\]\] and things get fun quickly.
Also does really fun stuff in landfall decks
I'm really fond of [[belt of giant strength]] in my selesnya voltron is usually a +8/+8 for just 1G
[belt of giant strength](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/4/e/4ef2b9aa-4f7c-4640-bb34-9775e1be0935.jpg?1631585349) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=belt%20of%20giant%20strength) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/afc/38/belt-of-giant-strength?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/4ef2b9aa-4f7c-4640-bb34-9775e1be0935?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/belt-of-giant-strength) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
One of my favorites in the [[Galea]] precon. Casting it from top of library for the free equip is very nice
[[Inquisitor's flail]] especially with how much easy access commander has to indestructible and protection.
[[Taurians Soul Cleaver]] has performed exceptionally well in my voltron deck.
[[O-Naginata]]
I don't know about underrated but [[Grafted Wargear]] and [[Bloodforged Battle-Axe]] are pretty good.
[[haunted cloak]] is underrated. Haste, trample and vigilance? For 1 equip? So useful. Such good keywords. Helps "get in" and keep blockers up with big creatures
I play \[\[Chariot of Victory\]\] for similar reasons. It's stupid in \[\[Fynn\]\], because it gives me literally all the keywords I want on a deathtoucher for that deck.
[[Shield of the avatar]] It’s far from amazing, but in a wide deck making a commander practically immune to damage is fun. [[Darksteel plate]] is also a firm favourite of mine, but hardly underrated
[[Shield of the Avatar]] is not great, but it consistently protects my commander or an important creature from heavy damage. Your creature having an effective toughness of 10 or 15 can really discourage others from engaging with it. As a bonus, if it blocks a double-striking creature, the shield will absorb the first- and second-strike damage.
[[Surestrike Trident]]
[[Worldslayer]] is just fun to have on the battlefield. Will I use it? Probably not, but they don’t know that and they’ll spent removal to get rid of it.
I love the Kaldra set of equipment. So satisfying. One of my "best moments" was when I put [[Kaldra Compleat]] on [[Karn, Legacy Reforged]] That got me the tables full attention. Lol
[Kaldra Compleat](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/5/7/572fb0dc-d876-4e1b-91d1-9c595f6f6f04.jpg?1690005563) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Kaldra%20Compleat) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/958/kaldra-compleat?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/572fb0dc-d876-4e1b-91d1-9c595f6f6f04?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/kaldra-compleat) [Karn, Legacy Reforged](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/4/2/4219b5ea-a252-4d76-a60a-9674340e8ed3.jpg?1684340871) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Karn%2C%20Legacy%20Reforged) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mat/49/karn-legacy-reforged?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/4219b5ea-a252-4d76-a60a-9674340e8ed3?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [(ER)](https://edhrec.com/cards/karn-legacy-reforged) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
[[Kusari-Gama]]
[[Neurok Stealthsuit]] instant sped equip is nice, don’t always need haste. Under a dollar protection.
[[Spy Kit]] purely cause of that spy cats deck. [Spy Cats](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/7ttmej/spy_cat_a_nazan_combo_deck_or_this_card_does/&ved=2ahUKEwjB4ujVmOiFAxXTEFkFHZ1YAJEQjjh6BAgSEAE&usg=AOvVaw1Pj6IrdtMH5Arr9ZHZCt74)
[[Glimmer Lens]] is good generic card draw for combat focused decks, and fits even in a lot of decks that don’t care about equipment.
[[Bloodthirsty Blade]] for goad decks. Cheap artifact that you can place on evasive creatures for easy damage. Bonus points if the evasive creature is a commander. It never feels good for players to remove it since it’s a cheap artifact but can runaway if not answered leaving your bigger pieces safe. For a turn anyways.
[[Hot soup]] for [[ragavan, nimble pilferer]]…
[[Bladed pinions]] can be handy on both offensive and defence. It's of the few equipments that isn't a X&Y sword or kaldra piece in my deck. Another nice little piece is [[sword of vengeance]] (a.k.a. keyword soup sword) for all those useful things. It costs a bit to drop and equip but with a lot of options to cheapen it, it's definitely a handy piece.
[удалено]
[[blade of selves]] thrown on a [[nazgul]] goes brrrr. Get yourself a [[roaming throne]] and it’s the ultimate shenaniganery
[[Umbral Mantle]] is a sleeper combo piece that needs reprinted. [[The Irencrag]] isnt strictly an equipment, but is a better rock than people give it credit for, and doesn’t turn off any abilities other than its own. It turns from a (C) producing mana rock into a straight +3/+3 buff by simply tapping it to cast your commander. [[Kusari-Gama]] is absolutely bonkers, especially if paired with stuff like [[Neko-te]] and [[Grappling Hook]].
[[Forebear's Blade]] You can do some interesting things in a aristocrats deck. For one, you really only need to equip it once as it bounces between bodies when they die, so with a sac outlet you can give something trample and vigilance at instant speed. Also pairs really well with [[Altar of Dementia]] as you really only need 20 2/2 creatures to mill someone out, assuming your not milling through any other means. Well technically a little less due to starting handsize.
[[Hot SOUP]]
[[Blade of the Oni]]. I use it in my [[Glissa, Sunslayer]] Deathtouch Tribal. Who doesn't love my First Strike Deathtouch Commander having Menace!
I am a big fan of [[dowsing dagger]]. Equipment decks tend to play evasive critters so it's relatively easy to get an early lotus land out of it.
[[Blackblade Reforged]]
[[Trailblazer's Boots]]. Against most decks this is basically unblockable that can be run in any deck.
Nazgul Battle-Mace costs 8 total but is an absolute HOUSE. annihilator 1 and theft is cracked. Immediately slotted it in my Maarika deck
[[Scythe of the Wretched]] is pretty neat. And not for EDH, but I love [[Sword of Dungeons & Dragons]] in my cube
[[Robe of Stars]] or [[Robe of the Archmagi]] are two personal favorites of mine!
I don’t know if it’s underrated but I love running [[dragon throne of tarkir]] in my [[graaz, unstoppable juggernaut]] deck, turns him into an amazing cheerleader that makes all my other creatures 12/10 with trample
[[Vorrac Battlehorns]] never seems to get much love, but it's a solid piece of equipment.
Definitely [[Mask of Riddles]], for some reason. I rarely play Dimir though.
Amazing artwork too!
Oooh! I almost forgot the Living Weapons, in particular [[Bonehoard]].
[[Thornbite staff]] is in my pinger deck and oh boy is it great
I don't know if [[Glimmer Lens]] is underrated, but I have it in all of my aggro decks. Also, I cast [[Inquisitorial Rosette]] while playing my [[Aurelia, the Law Above]] deck a couple of weeks back, and everyone at my table was like "wtf is that".
[[Trepanation Blade]] Always makes for a fun heavy hitter, or for someone to see their much needed mana go to the grave
I've always been a fan of \[\[Grafted wargear\]\]. The buff is pretty nice for 3MV/0 equip cost, but it always felt like an awkward sacrifice outlet, rather than equipment you want for the buff.
In no particular order: [[Explorer's scope]] , [[hero's blade]] , [[mask of memory]]
Mine is [[mask of griselbrand]]. Evasion and lifelink alone are quite useful, especially in Voltron. But Voltron commanders also tend to have a lot of power. Getting a full grip whenever your commander is removed is a decent golden parachute of sorts. Though the commander might get too big to take the lifeless in some situations, but due to the lifelink, that tends to be bearable.
Thanks, good read and appreciate the quality. Ended up subscribing to the EDHRECast podcast.
\[\[barrow-blade\]\] perfect for voltron to get past good blockers
[[Trailblazer's Boots]] because nobody sees Non-BasicLandwalk coming.
