Answer. Never played legacy much, so don't know how it turned out. How did I do?

{Sword of fire and ice} seemed unusual, but decided it looked like it would absolutely shut down fish, so I thought I would put it in

Swap {argentum armor} gor {umezawa's jitte} and you are good to go ;)

Honestly I don't see the insane power in that card... I've heard that its amazing but I don't truly see why.... Sure you can give the creature a bit of a buff... Or kill something small...

The jitte works off any combat damage.  So you can swing with you 2/3 {tarmogoyf}......I block with my {stoneforge mystic} equipped with the jitte.....then remove the 2 counters added to jitte to give goyf -2/2 and finish him.

Or let me swing and pump him that extra bit.....or I can gain life in a close match.  A jitte with counters on it is very imposing and makes it hard for an opponent to drop a creature they know you can easily remove with jitte.  Very versatile card....bottom line.

Like cltrn said, it works for chumpers and attacking creatures. It's versatile, it can be used to buff and as removal.

And {Sword of Fire and Ice} is a good card. Free {Shock} and card advantage. Not bad. Unfortunately, most fish will just put the damage through anyway because of Islandwalk.

Yea i thought it was good vs fish because they can't block it and 2 dmg kills most merfolk of they don't have many lords out yet

Added the jitte

I was playing a deck almost identical and I dropped the Geist because of the legend rule, it gets copied and goes to the graveyard so I switched to invisible stalker so I can guarantee a hit with a sword or jitte.  So side board atleast 2
