A bittersweet dirge is sung

There are a lot of MTG cards based on swords, but it's taken Wizards of the Coast's new Assassin's Creed set to bring the most famous sword of all time to the tabletop: that's right, Excalibur is a real Magic card now, and it's a hilariously expensive, hard-hitting artifact

Take a rough sketch (budget, power level, theme, playgroup) and use tools like Scryfall to filter 2,000+ legends down to candidates

This kind of headstart is frowned upon by Wizards because it encourages senseless power over refined gameplay

Varolz, the Scar-Striped is a great fun card that you can use as a straight up combo with cards like Phyrexian Dreadnaught and Death's Shadow or just in a graveyard themed creature deck
