Well, I have to do it sooner or later…

The immediate instinct of many players is that to make this work, you need a deck full of equipment. This is actually wrong. With this card, you need only a few pieces of equipment and some bodies to carry them. Having something to help this guy through would be nice as well.

I’ve been pushing this off, because I was waiting for a worthwhile piece of equipment to manifest from Magic Origins, but that hasn’t happened. On the other hand, finding an equipment is always a bonus, even if that equipment isn’t very good. Perhaps Veteran’s Sidearm is the way to go.

However, there is a few other interesting pieces of equipment from the past sets.

Godsend
Dragon Throne of Tarkir
Ghostfire Blade
Haunted Plate Mail
Hero’s Blade

These bring different possibilities, but lets go with Hero’s Blade first.

Here’s another with Morphs:
