Sword of Wealth and Power

Description

Sword of Wealth and Power is a distinctive Artifact — Equipment card numbered 91 in the 2024 Magic: The Gathering The Big Score expansion. Designed by Dominik Mayer, this Mythic Rare card provides a robust framework for players looking to bolster their creature attacks and amplify their spellcasting capabilities. The card features a mana cost of three, making it accessible early in the game while offering significant long-term value through its persistent abilities. As an Equipment, Sword of Wealth and Power attaches to a creature you control, granting it a +2/+2 boost to both power and toughness. Beyond simple stat enhancement, the card introduces protective and generative mechanics that define its strategic identity. The equipped creature gains protection from instants and sorceries, effectively shielding it from many common removal spells that target specific spell types. This defensive layer allows your key attackers to survive longer in combat, increasing the likelihood of dealing damage to the opponent. The offensive utility of Sword of Wealth and Power extends further into your spellcasting strategy. Whenever the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, it generates a Treasure token, providing additional mana resources for future plays. More importantly, the card triggers a powerful effect: the next time you cast an instant or sorcery spell that turn, you may copy it and choose new targets for the copy. This ability allows for versatile responses, whether doubling up on damage, extending a life total, or disrupting an opponent's plan. With an equip cost of two mana, maintaining this powerful attachment remains efficient, ensuring that Sword of Wealth and Power remains a consistent threat throughout the duration of a match.
