The fact that it is is /+0 and doesn’t give any evasion means your carrier might still get walloped easily or removed. Marcy: Like a lot of the LotR cards I am having a hard time telling if this is a win condition card or absolute junk. There aren’t a ton of lists that want to both spellsling and also go Voltron, this isn’t a bad piece in the few that do though. Other than that players are liable to just kill your Commander before your turn.įromTheShire: My immediate thought for this is Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest or a similar style deck. 1 life for a card, also? Pretty good!īPhillipYork: Hexproof and unblockable with draw a card and lose a life isn’t terrible if you have a Commander that you a) have to attack with and b) need to connect also. A single level of Ring Tempting makes it hard to block your carrier, this makes them unblockable, and it really isn’t hard to build up the temptation benefits. It’s like a bad Swiftfoot Boots without haste, but I actually think that in the world of The Ring Tempts You mechanics, there are some ways this could be really annoying. Marcy: Initially this card seems… kind of weird. Whispersilk Cloak sees a lot of play in that kind of deck for a reason, and in general I’m probably okay with paying the extra equip cost if it draws a card or two. They can’t interact with your Commander on your turn and if they don’t before then they’re in a lot of trouble. Once you actually get it equipped, this is actually pretty solid for Rafiq of the Many style Voltron decks. Marcy: Boy this sure is an equipment card that exists.īPhillipYork: I can’t see a usecase for this card, maybe, maybe if you had a … uh no.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Bilbo’s RingįromTheShire: It’s a little pricey for most of the decks that want this, hopefully you’re in colors that give you access to Puresteel Paladin. Otherwise it’s just probably not really worth the cost and complication of equipping when there are better swords out there.Ĭredit: Wizards of the Coast Barrow-BladeįromTheShire: Is it worth a card slot to run this in your Equipment deck on the off chance you need to ward off a Blightsteel Colossus? Almost certainly not, but you sure could if you wanted, or were on a pretty serious budget. If you’re buffing them or leveraging them in some really useful way, that’s great. I think the fact they come in tapped when not on a legendary is a little weak, though.īPhillipYork: For 5 mana you’re getting 4 stat points and then 2 1/1s a turn attacking assuming you’re dropping it on your Commander. That said, a token based aggro deck in Commander can probably find a great use for this (Honestly, maybe in an actual Geist deck?) would be interesting. Marcy: This is like Geist of Saint Traft but Bad, in that it’s 5 mana and really needs to be on a legendary. In draft this is probably a house though, sticking around through creature removal to keep churning out flyers. It’s not like outright bad or anything but unless you have a game plan that really needs the tokens I think you can almost always do better. It’s not a big enough buff and you don’t really care about the tokens much in Voltron, and it’s a good bit of setup for not all that much payoff in a tribal deck either. FromTheShire: I love me a good Voltron deck, or a good tribal deck, and I don’t think this actually really works for either.
