I love going back and watching the videos from a few months and really feeling how much your content has improved. Keep up the great work guys, love your stuff!

So what you’re saying is that phasing wasn’t just… a phase. 😎

As someone who thinks equipment is the best thing about magic I must say that sword of hearth and home is the best sword in a deck that has ETB synergy. If your commander does has a cool ETB it's a must have. I've got like 7 copies...Also honorable mention of conquerors flail. The pump is irrelevant but being able to shut down all players response during your turn is amazing. No fogs. No counterspells, no clever removal. In an equip beatdown deck it's good. Give it a go. One of the best things about robe of stars is saving all your equipment from a Farewell effect...

Id like to say that your guys’ channel has influenced my deckbuilding so much. I’ve got an Elesh Norn deck and I added robe of stars to my stoneforge package in it thanks to your guys’ recommendation from a bit ago and holyyyyy I’m always happy w/ that card and how it performs. Not to mention all the other tech and advice thats always helpful. Cheers to yall

Skullclamp Is so amazing I forget its 2 cards most of the time and then remember and just wonder how overpowered it is

I got into commander a few months ago and I've been learning a ton from you guys! Thanks so much. Using Shadowspear to Nature's Claim Purphoros sounds hilarious and now I want one in my Galea deck.

The art work on robe of stars is insane. All I know is the equipment that make your creature a changeling better be on this list as the best tribal equipment

the moxfield ad was maybe the funniest transition for an ad i’ve ever seen. actually got me laughing especially seeing joe’s face reacting to beezy’s description of the “card description”

I'm glad to see you guys are still having a ton of fun making these vids. It really shows.

Coming off of a long day of work, this video really brightened my day. I LOVE equipments!

Gotta say, I love moxfield. I've always had a hard time with my decks being changed over time and it being a hassle. Moxfield also allowing you to goldfish decks is incredible.

Great vid, good length, I appreciate how most of the cards you listed included "similar cards that aren't as good" which is important for helping people identify good commander cards vs traps.

For anyone in the UK, Amazon has reduced the cost of the galea precon. Considering the value and cards in that deck (robe of stars included!), it might be worth a look!

I first started playing in the midst of the first Mirrodin block. I loved the idea of Equipment from the outset and have continued to enjoy new weapons and pieces of armor iin every new set. From Sword of Fire and Ice and Bonesplitter to Umezawa's Jitte, Skullclamp to Loxodon Warhammer, and Embercleave I love them all. Now let's get to watching today's episode!

Robe of starts feels so great with worldfire unbanned.

Sword of hearth and home also has a ton of infinites that give extra combat steps on top of being much better than sword of the animist. Whenever you flicker a creature, IE Aurelia the warleader, she always gets the first attack trigger! Also combos with godo in samurai tribal but you need a haste banner

I like the fact you are doing a shout out to the patrons before the end of the episode. Usually people skip the last part.

Clicked since I'm building an equipment deck and I wanted to catch up on equipment that's come out since I stopped playing about 5 years ago. Good video, and I loved the wrestling references!

And Skullclamp got even stronger with the recent (to me) rule change where your commander does hit the gy and trigger dies effects.

You guys are fantastic hosts and constantly keep me interested and intrigued each video. Please know you guys make great videos and entertain me and everyone constantly!

I'm gonna buy every card on y'alls cards worth buying in april. You guys have great recs

You guys are so good at what you do I'd like to see more creative deck techs soon!

Great episode

Glad I watched this video. Just got a skullclamp for my squirrel commander deck and was about to take it out cause I got the old version of Skullclamp and I thought it wouldn't work with killing tokens

I use the swords in my Yasova deck. I love her because she's my most obscure commander. Gave her an upgrade package recently with all the swords and shocks/fetches. Also, absolutely agree with umbra. I run it in my cEDH GW Selvala deck. Sword of the paruns is a bad alternative. It's a kill on sight card because they know I'm going to win when I cast it.

I am new to commander and my brain is theorycrafting what decks to put these in and abuse, just based on some of these equipments awesome video.

I'm glad that I have most of those and play them and wish the others ones would be more affordable, but the video help me checking for prices drop

Love Robe of Stars in my Killian deck!

Robe of Stars make sense in something like Arcades or Doran too, not only do you get to keep your needed commander. But you get +3/+3 too :).

I don’t know if it’s going to be on here, but I think Conquerors Flail is the most underrated equipment by far. Silence/Grand Abolisher in an artifact is super powerful and it does work in multi color decks to boot.

When you go make a pun, but seconds later the content creators themselves make the same exact pun you were gonna make, you KNOW you’ve found the right channel. (It was the Ambercleave pun by the way)

Never played Skullclamp until I put together my Krenko, Mob Boss deck and it's just absolutely bananas.

My initial thoughts are the ones I use most.. tied to draw, ramp or utility, which are: Skullclamp, Shadowspear, Dowsing Dagger, Sword of the Animist, Sword of Hearth and Home, Robe of Stars, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots My vote for Skullclamp being #1 before watching the video

Nice list. I love how the best equipments in the format aren't played to put creatures.

Used to run skullclamp in my Shirei shadowborn apostles deck, thanks for pointing out that doesn't work btw, still run it in my Slimefoot deck. Feels great to clamp a few saprolings, draw a few cards and drain a few life for so cheap

I also like the reconfigure creatures, I’ve found they scale really well. Dockside Chef is on curve as early card draw and then you can sack him later, Lizard Blades can get the slower decks for 2 before you start reconfiguring it onto other creatures, and if you draw Ambercleave, Lizard Blades can attack to help with the discount on the equipment upgrade.

My all time fav equipment is Heirloom blade i run a bunch of Trible decks and its a great tool to have!

pair shadowspear with basilisk collar (or anything else that grants deathtouch) because trample-deathtouch means you only assign one damage to a blocker and the rest gets thru

Lightning greaves are a must have in Prosper when you need to protect him at all cost cause you rely on his passive skill.

Joe, I saw your breya deck on moxfield and it’s very similar to mine. I hope to see it in action soon! 🙌🏼

I haven't paid my smothering tithes since 1971. There are shardless agents outside my house

Sword of Feast and Famine is a removal magnet in my playgroup. If it's not answered, whoever owns it wins basically 100% of the time.

Skull clamp obviously, but One Equipment I really like is Sword of Light and Darkness, It protect one of your creature from most Removal, and let you get back Creature from your graveyard.

Happy birthday!!!

I like how you guys are working the moxfield plug into the list, funny stuff

Just want to throw out that Sword of Hearth and Home is another Sword of X&Y that has infinite combos. 1) Sword on a creature + Aurelia both attacking 2) Sword on a creature + Combat Celebrant / Scourge of the Throne / Port Razor + plus a haste effect for all your creatures 3) (and a spicy one) Sword on a creature + a Torpor Orb effect + and commander staple, Worfang Manta on the battlefield. Target Manta with the Sword trigger and get that sweet LTB with no downside! But for real. I've been REALLY impressed with Hearth and Home. Only slight more expensive than Sword of the Animist, but give you way better stats at baseline, and most decks have even a few creatures with ETBs. It also returns creatures from steal effects in the narrow cases that it matters!

My new favorite thing about Sword of the Animist is that you can tutor it up with Tribute Mage, then equip it to the mage and attack with it

I was really hoping reality chip was on here, fantastic card.

Surprised no sword of hearth and home

Saying my daily hello! Love the list and agree with your choices! I will say I had number 1 guessed but that’s to be expected 😂 so broken!

I think I'd put Shadowspear higher personally, probably around Lion Sash. My reasoning? It can be used when not equipped to turn off your opponents's shields, and it can be used politically. too.

I think sword of Hearth and Home is worth mentioning. It's like sword of the Animus Plus

Bloodforged Battle-Axe should have at least had honerable mention. I have also had a lot of success using Inquisitors Flail in combination with Double Strike to quadruple damage. You can commander damage someone out with a 6/6. I once put Fireshrieker, Kusari-Gama, and Inquisitors Flail on a Gideon Blackblade and it was busted.

Of these cards only 3 are not in my syr Gwyn deck and that makes me happy

I love Embercleave in my Xenagos deck XD, i called most of these, surprised no batterskull.

Right when I was about to get home and brew Rograkh x Ardenn!

12:24 The coolest part of the infinite combos for me is: once the equipment is on the creature, no one can respond to your infinite mana combo

Great list! I think you forgot sword of hearth and home, and very happy to see lion sash but not sure its quite good enough for the list

Amber-cleave would be amazing to see - could make it happen with a proxy

I think there might be a spot for Commander’s Plate. I would put it in any mono-colored deck for sure.

Skullclamp is definitely used in hyper cedh. Tevesh Szat, najeela etc. any token makers

embercleave is also sick if your attacker has an ability that triggers on damaging an opponent.

I absolutely love Lion Sash. It's a better version of Scavenging Ooze. I can't tell you how many games Scooze has given me the advantage over my opponents. Green has Old Gnawbone for the additional mana for Scooze. White has Smothering Tithe. Absolutely incredible

Somewhat surprised at the lack of a sunforger here, but also not since it's restricted to needing boros in your deck

70,000 subs, nice guys!

Feast and famine has to be on there, I think shadowspear will be on there probably also helm of the host Edit: 2 for 3 isn’t bad. I always forget embercleave exists… I still need to pick some up

i know its not an auto include or goes into every deck as this list kinda took that rode but i say an honorable mention would be sunforger.

Love you guys

I think Sword of Hearth and Home should belong somewhere on the list. Yes, it's a little more expensive mana-wise than Sword of the Animist, but most decks run at least some amount of etb-creatures. I think that alone would make it a consideration to run over Sword of the Animist, but the +2/+2 and pro green/white make it a pretty clear upgrade in my eyes.

Skullclamp is crazy if you get a lot of pest tokens in golgari witherbloom precon or in millicent ;)

I’m pulled sword if the animist from a mystery booster and I’m gonna put it in my isshin deck and it’s gonna be an impression of primeval titan

I'm really surprised you didn't include Sword of Hearth and Home. You get pro white and green so you dodge Path, Swords, Beast Within, and Generous Gift, you get built in evasion so you can connect, your land comes in untapped, and you get retrigger the creature's etb ability. I am shocked that Sword of the Animist makes it but Sword of Hearth and Home doesn't.

I'm honestly kind of surprised sword of the meek isn't on here. I ran an esper artifact deck with sydri at the helm. Sword of the meek, thopter foundry, and ashnods altar. Infinite fliers, infinite life, AND infinite mana all in one combo.

Also skullclamp, somehow people miss this but kykar. I don't know how because even it you have cathars you can still sac for red get the 2 cards and have it floating to equip to the next spitit

The tidbit is the only reason why I click on your videos (that's a lie), because I already know everything about commander (that's also a lie). Please bring the tidbit back - I love it (no lie here).

I think Commander’s Plate is so good in a mono color deck. I run it in Adeline and making her have pro everything not white is so good

Since it wasn’t in the video I thought I would mention sword of hearth and home, card does work

Yooooo just the sword I was Expecting that

Loving that Aubrey shirt

If you play Bard Class Embercleave can cost you as low as one red mana, I run it in my Hallar, the Firefletcher kicker midrange deck and it goes ham.

Would love a foil robe of stars.

Haven't seen it yet but I'm guessing there won't be even an honorable mention for the best combo peice card and underrated equipment of all time: spy kit.

Moxfield ad done right

I’m pretty sure you guys have the best magic channel. In my opinion at least.

Just bought kaldara compleat to replace my batterskull

If Skullclamp isn't number 1 some tokens are gonna die...

I'm very torn about Sword of the Animist vs Hearth and Home. SOA's main advantage is that it can be more reliably active a turn sooner when in your opening hand. In a solid start you can go 1) ramp 2) creature 3) cast and equip animist, attack. But the value of these cards isn't based on their first trigger, which you point out, it is based on the value they provide throughout the game. Very quickly HH surpasses the value of SOA by providing an extra creature etb effect, lands that come in untapped instead of tapped, and the increased P/T and Pro white/green. White is extremely relevant with swords, path and generous gift everywhere, but the pro green often lets you push through damage unblocked on gummed up boards. That said, SOA triggers an attack, not damage. If all you're looking for from this equipment is a ramp spell, then it SOA does get land 1 turn sooner. But if I draw SOA later in the game, it is extremely low impact. If I draw HH at any point, I'm happy to play and will get more value from it.

Lion Sash and Stoneforge Mystic are attached at the hip… accidental pun… because a sash is held on hips. 😂

B4 Watching: Animist Blade, Skullclamp, Swiftfoot boots, Lightning Greaves, Shadowspear, Sword of Feast and Famine, Robe of Stars, Winged Boots, Commander Plate, Hammer of Nazhan Controversial take: Lucille 6/10 ain't bad. LOL I had a feeling Lion Sash would be here but figured it might be too new. I almost think this video could've been ''10 combo equipment's'' and than another video called ''10 utility equipment for commander'' ;p

Skipped crimson vow/midnight hunt so i had not heard of robe of stars until this video. Must include a copy in my mono white konda voltron deck. Thanks nerds! Edit: does moxfield have an app? I have all my lists in excel but it would be dope to have it mobile

Hey guys you missed the real good key for Nim Deathmantle. Priest of Gix and Urabrask are infinite mana for Nim and Ashnod's

I use Archidekt for deck building/organizing/playtesting. Why should I use moxfield instead? Is it better?

I'm surprised jitte isn't on here but I also bet it isn't as impactful as it once was.

I think this list is pretty on point for me. Have you guys tried out vorpal sword in medium powered meta's it's over performed for me

That legendary blade that removes indestructible from my opponents. I don’t remember what it’s called but there are artifacts that remove indestructible and if I don’t have that, that’s what I lose to

Honourable mentions to Sword of Hearth and Home, Godsend, and Kaldra Compleat. Would personally say the sword is stronger than Sword of the Animist - costs 1 more to play, but gives an extra +1/+1, protection from two relevant colours, tutors the land in untapped, and also has synergies with creature ETBs! Only other drawback is needing to connect rather than just attack, but the protection helps with that. I guess people might see it as more of a threat so it's more likely to get removed, but does that make it a worse card?

No love for sword of Hearth and Home? That thing easily runs away with games in any deck with a few good etb triggers. And most decks have enough of those to make it reliable. The protection it offers is excellent and it ramps. Personally I put it up there with Feast and Famine because either on can win a game outright if left unanswered.

Thoughts on dowsing dagger?

What's the 2nd best sword in your opinions?

How do I know that I'm shopping under the affiliate link? Is there a code that I can put in to make sure yall are credited with my purchases. I feel like there's been a few times it wasn't processed. Thanks for all the great content! Ps maybe yall could do a game of pauper commander with the Play to Win guys! They mentioned on Sunday's video that kind of play probably wouldn't be best on their channel but maybe yall could host!
