Glamdring

{2} · Legendary Artifact — Equipment
Mythic · The Hobbit Eternal · Art by Franz Vohwinkel

Equipped creature has first strike and gets +1/+0 for each instant and sorcery card in your graveyard. Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you may cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand with mana value less than or equal to that damage without paying its mana cost. Equip {3}

Predicted power

Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—

Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—

Modern 33 Eng.D-Usr.—

A spell-dense creature deck can stock the graveyard, but paying five total mana before connecting is too slow and fragile for most Modern lists.

Best home Izzet Cutter ProwessBand speculativeConfidence 52%

Could be wrong if Efficient evasive threats or a reliable way to cheat its equip cost could make its free-cast trigger a real engine.

Legacy 37 Eng.DUsr.—

Legacy can fill the graveyard quickly, but Glamdring needs a creature, a five-mana setup, and an unblocked attack through premier interaction.

Best home Spell-dense evasive creature deckBand speculativeConfidence 48%

Could be wrong if Fast mana and cheap evasive threats may make the damage-scaled free spell more practical than its setup suggests.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—

Commander 59 Eng.C+Usr.—

In spell-heavy combat decks, its graveyard scaling and free spell on a successful hit are potent; equip 3 and combat dependence keep it niche.

Best home Spellslinger VoltronBand role-playerConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if Its trigger may prove too slow and unreliable against multiplayer blockers and removal.

Limited 71 Eng.B+Usr.—

Once a graveyard is stocked, first strike plus a large power boost makes combat difficult and can convert a hit into a free spell, but equip 3 is costly.

Best home Instant-and-sorcery deckBand premiumConfidence 36%

Could be wrong if Unknown draft speed, removal, and spell density determine whether it is premium or merely a slow build-around.

Spellslinger combat payoff

“A slow but explosive Equipment that needs a creature, a stocked graveyard, and an unblocked attack to generate free spells.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
