Top Ten MTG: Best Equipment Cards In Commander

[@dave7592]

I feel like Sunforger's deserves a mention pretty sweet having a tutor on equipment.

[@junglingmitapfel2902]

I actually built an Iroas EDH around it and it's pretty op to know that your opponents have absolutely no more chance when Sunforger is out and I got the Mana.

[@smartymarty2351]

I think Nim Deathmantle is good in any Voltron deck, even without the combos. You don't have to attach it, but you can use it to put the commander back on to the field at death. It's likely cheaper than a recasting.

[@Meatcook123]

Jitte is just an honorable mention XDD i win games with this think allone XD

[@variant-cover]

1

[@connorl0204]

I combo’d blade of the bloodchief with elenda the dusk rose and purphoros and viscera seer. Nobody was worried about me until after they killed elenda spawning 10 creatures, then i topdecked a bloodline necromancer to bring her back, sac’d all 10 tokens, and the rest of my board besides her, and put 3 1/1 counters per creature on her then sac’d her and killed the whole table at once

[@aldotrioksidi]

Umezawa's Jitte has never been really underwhelming for me, it's the -1/-1 that's actually used, and Jitte is a staple in any deck that runs creatures and does combat regularly

[@btfricks]

Top 10: Skullclamp Umezawa's Jitte Lightning Greaves Swiftfoot Boots Sword of Feast and Famine Illusionist's Bracers Sword of the Animist Loxodon Warhammer Hammer of Nazahn / Darksteel Plate Whispersilk Cloak Honorable Mention: Basilisk Collar Infiltration Lens Nim Deathmantle Deathrender

[@mrmahga6004]

I was shocked at the absence of Whispersilk Cloak. I'll have to look into done of the others you mentioned That I'm not familiar with.

[@Bynx08]

Neurok Stealthsuit should be an honorable mention, in blue it's pretty much a counterspell for anything targeting one of your creatures. I run it in my Phenax deck...I don't have friends anymore.

[@sQuibleable]

Gotta love Helm of the Host

[@SmartAlec1]

A turn two jitte basically allowed me to shut down a multi player game with a bitter blossom in play.

[@mrmahga6004]

No Whispersilk Cloak?

[@BA0777]

What about Masterwork of Ingenuity? Just imagine double trigger of any of the Swords. I am looking for one to run it on my Sigarda Deck.

[@fish7678]

I like Kusari-Gama, Banshee's Blade, and Fireshrieker due to the huge help those equipments are. Especially if all of them are on the same creature. Banshee's Blade also has increasing benefits. Grafted Exoskeleton is amazing especially with Derevi and Whispersilk Cloak can be nice if the creature is already big. Jousting Lance is a fairly good equipment too. I play on a budget so that is what I use.

[@markbodine5746]

How about trailblazer boots? At least for the honorable mention list.

[@ultraviolentkingofthedeath4817]

personally the best equipment in edh is skullclamp and then sofi . both cards especially clamp are abusrdly powerful. sunforger is really good too prolly wouldnt make top my top 10 tho

[@krunoslavlapenda9997]

No offense but I think that Jitte is by far one of the most powerfull equipment in all of commander, simply because its abilities can be used while its not equiped.

[@VegaStarr]

i agree, i think jitte is top 5 atleast

[@kurtsloop2462]

The Jitte is brutal. I really dont thing the maker of this video truly understands how damn broken it actuallt.

[@tefranger]

Not to mention theres a number of things at 2 toughness that are super good that it kills. Its a hatebear killer. It kills teague, both thalia's, kitaki, hokori, aven mindcensor, and a bunch more of the super strong hatebears. I think hes nuts for npt having it in top 5.

[@massivemedia4138]

How strong jitte is???? Imagine getting beat by a birds of paradise.... That 💪 jitte strong....

[@BenevolenceGaming]

You give so many honorable mentions you should just make a part 2 for every video

[@joshuawilliams994]

I'd rate the boots higher than the greaves, just on the basis that hexproof is better than shroud. In many cases, you want to still target your creature at instant speed, and paying one more really isn't that much.

[@teamgarra8730]

Skullclamp should be number one. Any deck playing it is gaining so much advantage. Greaves and boots are good, but not as good

[@icetea214]

Honestly, my favourite is blood-forged axe. Combine it with puresteel paladin and it will become an instant clusterfuck.

[@BoBnfishy]

The 0 equip cost on greaves is just so huge

[@darkmatter32x]

Bitterblossom + Skull clamp, yes please.

[@c0ym0nty]

Blade of Selves. It's tribal on its own 😉

[@adams333]

I've won a few games with Bloodforged Battle-Axe on a Derevi

[@pauldyson8098]

Awesome vid, but I agree with Arthur C: Plate is better than Cat Thor's Hammer because it is itself indestructible. I still love the hammer, though.

[@ArthurC7]

The reason if i prefer Darksteel Plate over Hammer of Nazahn is because cards like Vandalblast and Aura Shards are so freaking popular...

[@joshuawilliams994]

And Krosan Grip.

[@TheIkaruskid]

I run both. Darksteel Plate for indestructible creature redundancy and for how it combos with Worldslayer. Hammer of Nazahn to cheat equip costs. If they use their removal on Hammer that's one less opportunity to use it on other equipment.

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

Konda's Banner also affects other players' creatures too, right? I'd say that's a pretty big downside unless you're playing something like Rhys the Redeemed where you have so many creatures it doesn't matter.

[@tornadojoe87]

krenko+ashods altar+umbral mantle+illusionist's bracers= great goblin gatherings ;)

[@sarico7827]

I love conquer's flail I have currently been running it in nah voltron decks but still puts alot of work. Slivers tribal equip to commander laugh at the idea of sliver with a fail swinging it around killing people.

[@joshuawilliams994]

10. Dude, 5 colours still works. Equip to the commander and then every creature that isn't colourless gets at least +1/+1.

[@TheIkaruskid]

Hammer of Nazahn is very much broken. I was running a Lazav Voltron build but still struggling to make his damage stronger. Because of the Hammer, I'm able to run Batterskull and Argentum Armor without worrying about equip costs. Power level achieved! List for reference: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/lazav-voltron-mastermind-3/

[@TheRealSpellstar]

have you ever actually played with Konda's Banner? it's surprisingly bad in practice

[@mizzogames]

Only when you face a Umezawa's Jitte you realize it's power.

[@DVS57REBEL]

Fireshrieker is one of my favs in my Thrun voltron

[@nomakym]

ever tried Grappling Hook?

[@DVS57REBEL]

nomakym no i havnt just looked it up.

[@TheIkaruskid]

Grappling Hook is good for doublestrike redundancy if you're already running Fireshrieker and\or forcing opponent blocks (pseudo removal) but it costs 4 to cast and 4 to equip while Fireshrieker costs 3 to cast and 2 to equip.

[@nomakym]

Thanks captain obvious!, you read us the cards that we've already read... It's for a Thrun deck, if you can cast Thrun, you have 4 mana :)

[@TheIkaruskid]

nomakym You're welcome!

[@trick130o5]

What about Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist? Its not an equipment but insanely good

[@talentless4838]

Whats the difference between hexproof and shroud? Honestly I think they are the same. (Just confused on your #3 and #1 picks)

[@JakeBros3]

Shroud means the creature can't be the target of any spells or abilities, including your own or an ally's. Hexproof means it can't be the target of spell or abilities your opponents throw at it. Shroud basically makes an anti-magic shell around the creature, nothing can target it, for good or bad, whereas hexproof makes your creature immune to debuffs and negative abilities of your opponents while still being able to be targeted by you.

[@makotoxchihiroyaoifangirl8409]

@@JakeBros3 Nah hexproof does not make you immune to debuffs and negative abilities of your opponents. If an opponent casts a global debuff spell for example one that gives all creatures -3/-3 until end of turn your hexproof creature will still get affected by the opponent's debuff. Hexproof simply stops opponents from targeting something with hexproof with anything whether it is good or bad.

[@slee7863]

Jitte might not be as good in edh but it's still really bad when it lands on the field and if you're not the one controlling it

[@JakeBros3]

I make the maybe not so popular claim that darksteel plate is better at protecting things in commander than swiftfoot boots is. Darksteel plate is amazing.

[@thedanath]

quietus spike has won me many a game. Stick it on a first strike creature and 90% of the time what ever opponent you are attacking will ether be losing all their creatures due to the deathtouch the spike gives or just be losing a ton of life every time. and sure they can destroy my creature or the equipment but that can go for using any type of equipment.

[@MrKryvie]

Greaves are great, but if I play with Vigor, my commander, let's say Scullbriar, kinda can't use sweet PREVENT ALL DAMAGE and free +1s for every point of dmg prevented. Or with Urgor and Filth I can't make him unblocable, since he can't be targeted by abilities in stupid greaves.

[@condrecomics]

Neither Vigor or Filth target anything

[@Jordan-ub5kw]

What's with the hate on combo decks?

[@Jeffxm003]

Why does everyone forget about trailblazers boots

[@Reggaetonaldo]

Damn how many honorable mention cards are there? Just name 2 or 3, not another 10 to a top 10 list. Might as well do a top 20 next time.

[@danielellis-robinson1573]

Reggaetonaldo don't watch a Dice Tower top ten. There's three of hosts, they each do their own top ten, and five honourable mentions. So more like top 45 and the videos are about an hour long.

[@CommanderVoid]

I didn't want to half-ass the video when I could be thorough with my reasons as to why the cards didn't make the list. Still going to do honorable mentions the same way, sorry.

[@jefflyndon7986]

Could not finish video after seeing Jitte beat out by crappy Konfa’s banner. Obviously does not own/played with a Jitte.

[@mizzogames]

Agreed

[@bloodmistgaming9860]

Nice job

[@waltergheist]

Shroud does not protect your commander from being countered, I suppose.

[@allenamatuccio463]

Oh buddy, bracers and apheto alchemist gives infinite mana

[@K3rm1tFr0g]

Fire and ice is better than feast and famine in my opinion, fire and ice gets you out of a topdeck situation where youre flooded.

[@mathiasholbkjensen4039]

I will say that umezawa's jitte desaves a spot on you list becorse it is broken. All voltron deck whats This card,. All deck that Care abort contres whant This card.

[@fandomewhisper]

But Umezawa's Jitte is a planeswalker ..... but, but...

[@bigpuma2149]

You should make a best artifact

[@CommanderVoid]

I should

[@ultraviolentkingofthedeath4817]

Gabriel Franco 1 sol ring 2 mana crypt 3 mana vault easy lol

[@electronicshaman]

If I had the choice between sol ring and skullclamp, I'll take the clamp every time.

[@mrtalos]

Electronic Shaman Always remember my friend who didn't get how scullclamp was any good. Then in a single turn, I bounced it round three 1/1 tokens, drawing 6 cards. Destroyed it next turn. Think he worked out why.

[@fandomewhisper]

Sword of the Animist is, I'm my opinion, busted.

[@fandomewhisper]

digital1911 fuck yes! I think all mono colored decks just HAVE to, at the very least, seriously consider it. it's a better late game top deck than something like burgeoning or land tax. it's a reshuffle when the creature attacks, if the +1/+1 want good enough. btw Happy Late Birthday Devil Dog

[@andresperez7476]

List needs to be updated 😗😚😀

[@jasonshi2307]

Grafted exoskeleton???????

[@fandomewhisper]

Boots and greaves are auto includes in every deck... period!

[@TheMystcast]

Cygnus Vismund my oloro deck doesnt run them. I dont need to protect creatures and i never cast him xD.

[@palpatinevevo9773]

not greaves if you play a deck where you always target your own shit, or a deck full of only combo cards

[@smszx]

Cygnus Vismund i'm gonna assume you have a very, very narrow deckbuilding strategy then. There are more than enough decks that do not want to run both, and more than enough that run neither. Please atleast play the format for a while before commenting dumb stuff like this.
