"CMC 1 or less"?

Would it be more interesting if it searched for combined CMC 8 or less?

Thanks for catching that.

> Would it be more interesting if it searched for combined CMC 8 or less?

It is a vague concept, this "more interesting". The intent is to make the player play many Equipment, so the result can be an Octopus with a sword on each arm.

I intentionally moved on from your proposed wording because I don't want the solution to this card to be the same old Sword of Body and Mind-cycle.

I also considered a requirement for "Equipment cards with different names" in addition, but that would be pretty hard to sell in a premium set.

I guess. Although looking at the actual targets for this, there are 5 equipment with CMC 1 or less I'd even consider playable, and it doesn't even matter because Colossus Hammer and Shadowspear are all you need to win. Otoh, at 9 mana, this is too expensive to be playable itself
