{2} · Artifact — Equipment
Uncommon · Mystery Booster Commander Edition · Art by Svetlin Velinov
Equipped creature has hexproof and haste. (It can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control. It can attack and {T} no matter when it came under your control.) Equip {1} ({1}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)
Predicted power
Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—
Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—
Modern 18 Eng.FUsr.—

Modern's speed makes a two-mana artifact plus equip investment unattractive; it neither affects the board immediately nor protects a creature from removal in response to equip.

Band speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if A new creature combo whose payoff requires tapping immediately could create a narrow use case.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.—

Legacy demands unusually efficient or unique effects. Three mana across two sorcery-speed actions for conditional creature protection is far below the normal rate.

Band speculativeConfidence 73%

Could be wrong if An exceptional tap-creature combo with mana acceleration could give this a specialized role.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 56 Eng.C+Usr.—

Cheap equip grants immediate attacks or tap activations plus ongoing targeted protection, making it a strong singleton inclusion for commanders that must survive.

Best home Commander-centric tap or Voltron decksBand role-playerConfidence 74%

Could be wrong if It offers no cards or mana and remains weak against sweepers; optimized lists may prioritize more proactive slots.

Limited 52 Eng.CUsr.—

It can make a strong creature immediately useful and harder to target, but provides no body or cards and can lose tempo when removal answers the equip.

Best home Creature-based decks with valuable attackersBand playableConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Unknown removal density, creature sizing, and set synergies could make reusable hexproof much better or worse than expected.

Haste and protection equipment

“A low-equip protection tool for commander-centric creatures, but its three-mana setup and sorcery-speed vulnerability limit competitive Constructed use.”

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