Sword of Hearth and Home

Description

Sword of Hearth and Home is a Mythic Rare artifact Equipment from the Magic: The Gathering Modern Horizons 2 set, released in 2021. Designed by Randy Gallegos, this card serves as a potent tool for players seeking to control the board while developing their mana base. As a three-mana artifact, it offers an efficient entry point for strategies focused on equipment synergies and color-hosing mechanics. Once equipped to a creature, this sword grants a significant +2/+2 power boost alongside protection from green and white. This defensive layer not only safeguards your attacker but also enables aggressive plays against opponents relying on those colors. The true strategic value emerges when the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player. At that moment, you can exile a target creature you own from the battlefield and search your library for a basic land card. Both the exiled creature and the newly found land enter the battlefield under your control, allowing for immediate replay of key assets while resolving any mana issues. Collectors and players alike value this card for its unique combination of offense and resource generation. The ability to return creatures to the battlefield while fixing mana makes it a versatile inclusion in various decks. Its status as a Mythic Rare in the Modern Horizons 2 expansion highlights its importance within the set's design philosophy, which often features reimagined staples and powerful new effects. For those building a collection of Modern Horizons 2 cards, this Equipment represents a key component of the set's artifact ecosystem.
