Excalibur, Sword of Eden is a brand new Equipment Artifact debuting in MTG’s Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed set. This Legendary blade can boost your Creatures to huge levels of power and reduce its own casting cost to a potential zero.
Other Legendary Isu Artifacts like Staff of Eden, Vault’s Key are highly useful thanks to graveyard theft and card draw. Excalibur, Sword of Eden doesn’t offer the same value plays but sets itself apart through incredible combat efficacy and being free to cast with the right preparation.
Excalibur, Sword of Eden joins the ranks of other colorless Artifacts like Blightsteel Colossus whose cost exceeds ten mana. Coming in for a cost of 12, this would be an exorbitant price to pay for most Equipment in MTG, but thankfully Excalibur has an in-built way of reducing its casting cost.
This card costs X less to cast, where X is the combined mana value of all Historic permanents you control meaning Artifacts, Legendaries, and Sagas.
