Sword of Forge and Frontier

Description

The 2023 Magic: The Gathering promo release Sword of Forge and Frontier stands out as a formidable artifact within the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Promos collection. Identified by the card number 244s, this foil mythic rare Equipment card brings significant strategic weight to any deck. Designed by Scott Murphy, the card exemplifies the high-quality production values associated with The curated Magic: The Gathering inventory. Mechanically, Sword of Forge and Frontier offers a robust package for players seeking board control and resource acceleration. For a mana cost of three, it grants the equipped creature a substantial +2/+2 power and toughness boost. Crucially, it provides protection from both red and green mana, a versatile defensive trait that shields the artifact from targeted removal spells of those colors. This dual protection makes it a durable choice for commanders and other formats where artifact vulnerability is a common concern. Beyond its defensive capabilities, the card features a potent triggered ability that impacts long-term gameplay. Whenever the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, the top two cards of your library are exiled. The controller may then play those cards immediately, effectively turning combat damage into card advantage. Additionally, the effect allows you to play an extra land that turn, accelerating your mana base during critical moments. The equip cost of two makes it relatively affordable to attach to your creatures as the game progresses. Collectors value this card not only for its gameplay utility but also for its status as a promotional item from a major expansion. The foil finish adds visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection. Whether you are looking to enhance your Commander experience or expand your library of powerful artifacts, this promo card represents a significant piece of the Phyrexia era.
