If there’s one weapon that screams high fantasy, it’s surely the sword. It’s the archetypal weapon for just about any battle this side of Middle-earth or Midgar, and there have been a LOT of them in Magic: The Gathering over the years. Equipment artifacts were first introduced to the game with October 2003’s Mirrodin set, and they appeared throughout that block representing a creature’s magical weapons and other devices. These days, there are more than 500 equipment cards in the game, and more than 30 of them are swords.
