I knew there was a blue-red version of this already (in fact my vague memory of it was a partial inspration), but didn't recall it was rare. Makes me feel like I low-balled the rarity.
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
> 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.

Yay, it's Cerebral Vortex!
I had an old deck using Teferi's Puzzle Box and Wheel and Deal to kill people with Cerebral Vortex. It was hilarious.

Trying something new creatively... maybe Rootwater Merfolk rather than Thalakos?
Smells like a green card.

Thanks for catching that.

typo fix:"1 or else">>"1 or less"
"CMC 1 or less"?
