Which is better
Enchantments or Equipments

All-Mana Mania


Vampyvyrus

I think this question is a little too broad. Both serve there purpose in certain decks. But i don't think I could just say "this is better than that" in this situation. What kind of deck are you thinking about when this question popped into your cranium?

No deck in particular, but in general with pros and cons

Cards that help get the equip cost down, or non-existent.

Cheap ways to get out

One time use (most of the time)
Abundance of enchantment removal
Can't change targeted creature when needed. (usually)
