Title: Best Equipment
Post by: DimirOverlord1300 on December 01, 2013, 03:45:27 PM
What do you guys think are the best equipment of all time?

Probably the Swords. There's a reason they're worth, like, $10-20 a pop.

From a Commander standpoint, though, {Lightning Greaves}. It's useful in most decks.

I love  {Blade of the Bloodchief} in a self sacrifice deck. And a card that doesnt see a lot of play but I really enjoy is  {Elbrus, the Binding Blade}

Have a soft spot for  {Batterskull} lots of fun times with that.

You don't find  {Swiftfoot Boots} better since they at least allow you to target your own guy?

They require one more mana to use. I only use it in Nekusar because I have stuff that needs to target him. Otherwise, I'd use the greaves.

Cool, i run a lot of blue black self targeting decks so i'm all about hexproof over shroud, but if you don't need go with the cheaper mana cost... Was just curious.

{Umezawa's Jitte}.

There is no other contender.
I had forgotten about this. I'd say it's probably the best single equipment, while the Swords are probably the best cycle.

Jitte is definity the best. Whether you block or not doesn't even make a difference. Once the jitte has swung, the controler of it controls the board.

I really like {Elbrus, the Binding Blade}, and {Konda's Banner} is hilarious in a mono-tribal deck.

Not best certainly but I remember having a lot of fun putting {Inquisitor's Flail} on my double strike creatures.

You kidding? Inquisitors flail on the {stuffy doll}
what about {inquisitors flail} on {Boros reckonor}?

Even better! But I still prefer jitte on a {mirran crusader} :D

I think the best is probably {Batterskull}. My favorite is {Basilisk Collar}, though.

I was obsessed with {Quietus Spike} when it came out.

As was I! I first started playing during that set and I ended up putting a playlet of them in my first thought out deck ever. Haha.

Yeps, same here! I had it in my Fae tribal. All the flying over the top just got ridiculous ... which led to become a little boring... 😜
