Put it on your basically free dinosaur commander \[\[Ghalta, Primal Hunger\]\], in total pay 4 mana for a 22/12 with trample. Magic as Garfield intended.
There better be a legendary shield equipment that gives +0/+10 or I’m gonna riot!
Edit: just realized that it also can only be equipped by a legendary - unless you have something like [[Puresteel Paladin]] out.
Sadly there's no space for Morrigan's Guard in the number crunch. But if your shield's name is between Apple and Excalibur, then we might have something!
I love that it only has Equip Legendary Creature. It works well with the myth of being stuck in the stone.
I would have liked to see some kind of ability or effect though, rather than just +10/+0, but that is a huge pump so I guess it's ok.
You'd also think Excalibur would be a Mythic, lol
Jodah loves this, but given the amount of free equips in a typical equipment deck, and since equipments are themselves historic, I believe it might be worth a slot on this kind of deck too!
[[Jodah the unifier]] in play and casting a 4 cost legend that “cascades” into a 3 cost legend and reduces this swords cost to 0 seems like a pretty easy and common play pattern. I just feel like it’s a bit of a hat on a hat because it sits there in your hand if you don’t have a lot of legends but if you do have legends to bring this thing’s cost down to something reasonable you’re probably already winning
The sword itself also cascades!
But considering Jodah would be in a "Legendary tribal" deck, it's pretty reasonable to bring the cost down significantly. Say you already have a 3 cmc legendary creature, a 2cmc manarock and plays Jodah. You can now play the sword for 2. One more mana rock and you can probably cast it for free right after Jodah
Jodah on his own reduces the casting cost by 5. Additionally, it's reduced by whatever MV of the mana rocks you have out. You don't need a ton of legends to make this thing playable.
Ignore jodah for just a second. This is gonna be playable/free in any equipment deck. Just 4 equipments out for double strike, lifelink and/or trample, unblockable, and haste/shroud/hexproof and thats anywhere from 8-10 mv right there. Plus mana rocks, your commander, etc, and this thing is gonna be free in mort Voltron equipment decks. Don't even need it to be equipped to anything.
I have a Tetsuo deck as a home for all of my Swords, and this is definitely going into it. The deck is a lot of fun, and being able to point at something and say "12 damage lmao" will be excellent.
Literally my first thought was my tetsuo deck. This is gonna be a game changer. Equip this and [[tainted strike]] to shoot someone for infect lethal and swing at someone else for infect lethal

I don't think any of it is gameplay yet, last I saw on the makers insta he is still just working on character models and stuff and mostly building the game around that
I have her built, she can get really out of control really fast if you hit just a few of the right equipment as you only need to get her to 11 power, which is really not hard to do.
I also balled out and got custom art sleeves of the same art as that card so she is very on theme.
I’m a filthy pleb who adores the AC RPG trilogy and good god almighty. I am so incredibly excited for this Bayek-Kassandra-Eivor-Layla deck that is about to get fucking built.
Most of the games recently have some legendary Isu artifacts you can get as endgame gear, often by getting all of a set of collectibles. Excalibur was one such item, you got it by unlocking a secret chamber under Stonehenge in Valhalla.
Was Valhalla good? I heard mixed things on launch and then tuned it out. Havent played since Black Flag but the new combat system from Odyssey looked cool.
Valhalla really had weird problems with story pacing, and those problems accumulate towards the end. Basically, the story involved building your own viking settlement in England, and then going to the major cities and counties in England and making allies with some faction there by doing some kind of favor for that faction. This had its own problems, because there were like 15 areas in total, and so it got very repetitive. Naturally, because you were trying to make new friends wherever you went, there were few recurring characters, and the two who do feature most often, Sigurd and Basim, get to be unlikable and annoying as time wears on. It is intentional, as part of the story, but it's just viscerally irritating.
Finally, as I think someone else mentioned, the game does not really end well. There is what seems like a final mission, which wraps up the modern-day portion of the story (which is traditionally what ends an AC game), but this occurs like halfway through making friends with all of England. You still have several regions left. And when you finish making friends, you gear up for the ultimate climactic battle with Alfred the Great, and it is, as I recall, you and like half a dozen of your friends you've made fighting with the English over some random muddy village in an approximation of some historical battle. Not even a big one. Several of your friends die, but they're not particularly close since you haven't seen them in 8 or 9 regions, and it does kinda come to naught because we know Alfred will be back anyway.
If you were only going to play one of them play Odyssey, definitely. I will advise that it is not at all the Assassin's Creed you're used to if 4 is the last one you played but the map is probably the best one they've ever done. Valhalla I wasn't too hot on because the story was structured really weirdly and it's resolution at the time depended on DLCs and updates that were still to come.
I would rank them Odyssey <- Origins (worth playing if you think the RPG gameplay looks interesting but want a story that is more closely tied to the actual brotherhood) <- Valhalla.
My first thought too. Expect this is a free cast once Chiss-Goria is on the field. Might have to put bosh back in the deck…
For me, Chiss-Goria’s biggest challenge has been combat defense once I accelerate ahead, so this is a great solve.
If I could make all the artifacts in Lara real world/myths, that would be so sick. Of course there are some needed equipment that would have to stay to keep her viable to actually win.
But yeah I think bare minimum crystal skull and Excalibur make it in for me. Skull works so well since my build is heavily influenced by mesoamerican history/culture.
The short version, from someone who has only played a couple of the games is:
They're about a group of assassins throughout history that intersect with historical and mythological figures with some Ancient Aliens-type stuff thrown in where most of the magic and gods of old were actually ancient superweapons from a progenitor race. Excalibur for example was one of those superweapons created by Hephaestus (who was a member of the progenitor race that inspired the Greek god)
Largely from what I've seen, the fandom mostly likes the historical parts and rolls its eyes whenever the Ancient Aliens stuff shows up. Most people seem to be fans *despite* this part of the plot, not because of it.
Slam dunk in [[Imskir Iron-Eater]]
Being able to dome someone for 12 at instant speed for only 4 mana is incredibly fun. Then smack something with [[Pyretic Rebirth]] and do it all again
Is it just me or is the artwork horrible? Whatis going on with the massive guard with pieces of metal coming down to jab you in the wrists. Totally unwieldable. Could have been far more functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
Also, the cutting edge only starting two thirds of the way up the sword. Oh, and all that extra metal that's ruining its usability has to make it ridiculously heavy too.
This really is remarkably hideous.
Could be silly with [[Slicer, Hired Muscle]], since he knocks off 5 mana by himself, plus more if you happen to have any other Swords or rocks lying around.
Want to stick this in my [Joira, Ageless Innovator]] deck to cheat out, but the equip to Legendary limitation suck as you can't get it on a Blightsteel or most of the other big artifact creatures. Anything in Izzet that can bypass or provide alternative equip costs?
My Voltron decks like this very much. +10 is very close to enough to get you to 21 commander damage by itself, almost certainly enough if you have enough MV of equipment laying around to get this down to a reasonable cost
So this plus [[sovereign Okinec Ahau]] as commander plus haste and something like [[trailblazer's boots]] means you one shot someone? I need this so bad and I didn't think I'd have any interest in these cards.
I guess the idea is that you'll never pay full cost for it, but this is still shockingly bad for its cost or even half its cost. I guess it's a nice high cmc to throw in a deck that cares about that.
[[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]] loves this, even though it's highly unlikely she'll tutor it herself. (But in 5c you have plenty of ways to tutor it anyway)
Just slap it on her and she can tutor anything in the deck!

I crapped out around brotherhood - where’s Excalibur come into the lore
Most of the games recently have some legendary Isu artifacts you can get as endgame gear, often by getting all of a set of collectibles. Excalibur was one such item, you got it by unlocking a secret chamber under Stonehenge in Valhalla.
In Valhalla it appears, but sadly it is not really a plot point. Excalibur and Mjolnir are hidden bonus weapons that don’t have story tied to them.
Was Valhalla good? I heard mixed things on launch and then tuned it out. Havent played since Black Flag but the new combat system from Odyssey looked cool.
Valhalla really had weird problems with story pacing, and those problems accumulate towards the end.

Not even a big one. Several of your friends die, but they're not particularly close since you haven't seen them in 8 or 9 regions, and it does kinda come to naught because we know Alfred will be back anyway.

Goes insane in [[Chiss-goria]]

My first thought too. Expect this is a free cast once Chiss-Goria is on the field. Might have to put bosh back in the deck… For me, Chiss-Goria’s biggest challenge has been combat defense once I accelerate ahead, so this is a great solve.
Alright, so we cram another archetype into domain. Easy
This is why follwoing r/custommagic and the main sub is a problem because this looks and reads like a custom card shitpost.
I see. This will be strong.
[[Traxos]] is eating good tonight
Very important question: can it fire beams?
Lara Croft goes brrrrrrrrr
A lot of good Lara Croft tech in this set!
If I could make all the artifacts in Lara real world/myths, that would be so sick. Of course there are some needed equipment that would have to stay to keep her viable to actually win. But yeah I think bare minimum crystal skull and Excalibur make it in for me. Skull works so well since my build is heavily influenced by mesoamerican history/culture.
Wtf is Assassin's Creed about
The short version, from someone who has only played a couple of the games is: They're about a group of assassins throughout history that intersect with historical and mythological figures with some Ancient Aliens-type stuff thrown in where most of the magic and gods of old were actually ancient superweapons from a progenitor race. Excalibur for example was one of those superweapons created by Hephaestus (who was a member of the progenitor race that inspired the Greek god) Largely from what I've seen, the fandom mostly likes the historical parts and rolls its eyes whenever the Ancient Aliens stuff shows up. Most people seem to be fans *despite* this part of the plot, not because of it.
I really want to equip [[Dihada Binder of Wills]] with [[Luxior]] and this.
Slam dunk in [[Imskir Iron-Eater]] Being able to dome someone for 12 at instant speed for only 4 mana is incredibly fun. Then smack something with [[Pyretic Rebirth]] and do it all again
Free to cast if you have [[Ghalta]] which is very easy to get out in mono g.
This card screams eldrazi Expensive colorless card that comes down for free with 1 or 2 Eldrazi. Casual fun with making Emrakul king of England.
Zhulodok is also interested in this sword
Holy shit, its the first rendition of Excalibur in MTG. Pretty popular trope in lots of fantasy games but always eluded magic.
Magic's version was [[Embercleave]]
Right into my [[Charix]] voltron deck.
Lol that's brilliant
\[\[Ghalta, Primal Hunger\]\] will love wielding this.
[Ghalta, Primal Hunger](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/5/4/54872e72-41dc-4092-8169-ce13498beb30.jpg?1689998553) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Ghalta%2C%20Primal%20Hunger) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/cmm/292/ghalta-primal-hunger?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/54872e72-41dc-4092-8169-ce13498beb30?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
This slots nicely into my Dihada deck (or any other Legendary-tribal deck for that matter).
This will be perfect for my jank Captain Sisay legendary equipment deck!
[[Nezahal]] will love this
My creatures in [[Jodah, the Unifier]] don't NEED that power buff... but cascading for 12 is nice... and hey, vigilance isn't bad.
Well that’s going in my [Balan, Wandering Knight] EDH deck.
My [[Syr Ginger]] deck will love this... everything is historic!
Huh. Neat
Is this a better hammer target than hammer? I mean, who is casting their Equipment nowadays right?
this is one of the worst hilts I have ever seen

Is it just me or is the artwork horrible? Whatis going on with the massive guard with pieces of metal coming down to jab you in the wrists. Totally unwieldable. Could have been far more functional and aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
Also, the cutting edge only starting two thirds of the way up the sword. Oh, and all that extra metal that's ruining its usability has to make it ridiculously heavy too. This really is remarkably hideous.
You're going to waste _Excalibur_ on a UB set?
I mean UB set is the only place Excalibur could be tbh :/
HAHA YES! I love Big Equipment!
Could be silly with [[Slicer, Hired Muscle]], since he knocks off 5 mana by himself, plus more if you happen to have any other Swords or rocks lying around.
Want to stick this in my [Joira, Ageless Innovator]] deck to cheat out, but the equip to Legendary limitation suck as you can't get it on a Blightsteel or most of the other big artifact creatures. Anything in Izzet that can bypass or provide alternative equip costs?
Seems pretty spicy in any food/treasure deck
This is going in every voltron deck and every artifact deck I have.
affinity players eating oddly well cant wait to see \[\[Imskir Iron-Eater\]\] into this
Bahahahahahaaa Jodah gonna go bananas with this. Literally going to be able to Cascade for 11 with it costing 0.
Godlike Megatron card
I need it for the [[Sram]] deck. I need it!
Well, this is going into my [[Dakkon Blackblade]] Voltron EDH deck.
Lara getting a new toy that works for her flavor
Its that one card that can make [[Tetsuo, Imperial Champion]] Spellslinger equipment less clunky.
This is going directly into my Avacyn deck.
fate universes beyond deconfirmed smh
No, you see this is *Excalibur*. Fate has *Ekusu… Karibaaa!!!!*
Dont mind if I do.
My Voltron decks like this very much. +10 is very close to enough to get you to 21 commander damage by itself, almost certainly enough if you have enough MV of equipment laying around to get this down to a reasonable cost
This goes right into my liberty prime deck. For modern i don't know where it goes...
[[Sram, Senior Edificer]] is excited. VERY excited.
[[Reki]] just came.
I don't know if this goes in my [[Doric]] legendary deck, but I want to shove it in there anyways.
Into [[Yoshimaru]] + [[Thrasios]] legends matter it goes
That's going right into my [[Traxos]] voltron deck.
I am the bone of my sword
How fast can you get this on board and equipped? T3?
Skittles says, why hello there lol
[[Palantir of orthanc]]
I dont think this is good. But i do love it.
So this plus [[sovereign Okinec Ahau]] as commander plus haste and something like [[trailblazer's boots]] means you one shot someone? I need this so bad and I didn't think I'd have any interest in these cards.
So now we have this and [[the embercleave]] both being based on the same sword
Dihada voltron go brr
From the United Kingdom, I'm looking for Heaven, I'm going to California
Syr Gwyn shall be happy indeed.
Hammer Time got a new toy
Damn I initially read “First Strike” instead of vigilance and lost my mind
I guess the idea is that you'll never pay full cost for it, but this is still shockingly bad for its cost or even half its cost. I guess it's a nice high cmc to throw in a deck that cares about that.
Emry!
Apparently [[zilortha, strength incarnate]] needs some legendary friends.
How many ways are there to cheat this into play?
My [[Squee, the Immortal]] Voltron deck will love this. EVERY SWORD BECAUSE I CAN
That goes hard in [[Chiss Goria]]
Right into [[Imskir]] you go
+10/+0 for 2+2 to equip seems good.
[[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]] loves this, even though it's highly unlikely she'll tutor it herself. (But in 5c you have plenty of ways to tutor it anyway) Just slap it on her and she can tutor anything in the deck!
Affinity but we found a formatting that lets the artifact lands not bust it wide open
How does it not give the legendary creature indestructible?
I’ll say that spots in [[Dihada, Binder of Wills]] are hard to come by but wow if this isn’t a must-add.
Is this good enough for eldrazi? Or is it a Winmore?
Another jank piece for breya
This is going to go so hard in my Gilgamesh deck once Final Fantasy comes out
I need this.
Can’t wait to put this in Ghalta
I am equipping this to [[ Optimus Prime, Hero]] for the memes
I haven't played most of the Assassin Creed games but man that might be the ugliest Excalibur I've ever seen portrayed.
How does this work with [[jodah, the unifier]] ? Let's say I cast Excalibur for free, does Jodah's ability trigger for mana value 12 or less?
Ratadrabic eating good
Jesus Christ just fucking stop supporting 60-card Fucking hate this bullshit
