Sword of Fire and Ice

Description

The 2020 Magic: The Gathering Double Masters set reprinted fan-favorite cards with premium treatments, and card number 365 stands out as a mythic rare artifact. Sword of Fire and Ice is an Equipment that transforms how a creature interacts with the battlefield, offering both defensive utility and aggressive payoff. With a mana cost of three, it provides immediate impact without consuming excessive resources. As an artifact equipment, this card grants its equipped creature a +2/+2 power boost along with protection from red and blue spells. This defensive layer makes the creature significantly harder to remove, while the offensive stats increase its threat level. The strategic depth comes from its triggered ability: whenever the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, the equipment deals two damage to any target and allows you to draw a card. This synergy creates a cycle of value, turning combat hits into card advantage and flexible damage. The foil finish in the Double Masters release adds a layer of collectible appeal, distinguishing it from standard prints. Collectors often seek out these premium versions for their aesthetic quality and the prestige associated with mythic rare status. The card’s design and mechanics make it a versatile piece for various formats, appealing to those who appreciate artifacts that offer sustained value. Whether you are building a deck around artifact synergies or adding to your collection of premium reprints, this card represents a key component of the 2XM set. Its enduring popularity in the TCG community highlights its status as a staple in artifact strategies.
