Assault Suit

Description

Assault Suit is an Artifact — Equipment card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016 set, identified by card number 242 and set code C16. Designed by James Paick, this Uncommon card provides a distinct strategic option for players seeking to manipulate board state and control enemy resources. The card carries a mana cost of {4} and has a mana value of 4. When equipped to a creature, it grants +2/+2 power and toughness, along with the keyword ability Haste. A key defensive feature prevents the equipped creature from attacking you or planeswalkers you control and stops it from being sacrificed. This allows the controller to maintain a presence on the battlefield without risking self-inflicted damage. Assault Suit also features a powerful disruptive effect. At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, you may choose to have that player gain control of the equipped creature until end of turn. If you do, the creature untaps. This mechanic forces opponents to manage their own resources while potentially disrupting their plans. The card can be re-equipped for {3} mana, allowing for repeated strategic maneuvers throughout the game. The 2016 Commander 2016 release includes the Artifact — Equipment card Assault Suit, numbered 242. The combination of stat boosting, protection, and forced board control makes it a versatile tool. Equipped creatures gain +2/+2 and haste, cannot attack you or planeswalkers you control, and cannot be sacrificed. Its Uncommon rarity in Commander 2016 makes it accessible yet valuable for those who appreciate clever card mechanics.
