I like this card for the flavor and also because it reminds me of the most recent Castlevania. That makes this card worth a million lulz.

I like this art better than Champion's Helm. :)

Also, while I don't mind making 'Voltron.creature', or giving Commanders both Hexproof and Haste, I do prefer that you at least have the decency to use 2 or more cards to get that kind of advantage, rather than just Das Boots. Das Boots are cool the first couple times, but Commander decks aren't good if they're only fun the first couple times.

Avacyn's mask literally imbues the wearer with holy strength. Nice touch.

Another card to throw into EDH decks.

It's equip cost is a little heavy though, but that's fine for an uncommon.

Not bad, but too expensive. If you equip it twice you already spent a total of 8 mana. T_T I stick to lightning greaves, thanks. :)

I equipped it to an Invisible Stalker. My opponent couldn't understand the importance of me having cloak on my cloak so I then hit them for two. They still didn't catch on, but suits many blue/control sorts in standard (labratory maniac or lord of the unreal with the mask are quite nice if you're not as into comedy as me and instead equip it to a phantasmal bear just to be strange by killing it with hexproof).

Ah... what a fum game... Works great with Phyexian Metamorph or Cryptoplasm or the like, since it stops removal and gives you enough of a buff to usually take out the original creature.

Doesn't look like much, specially with Swiftfoot Boots in standard at the same time. I'd bet it will only see play in limited, since it's not broken enough for standard and not fun enough for casual.

Love that a mask. A MASK increases power.

Question: Is it possible to equip this artifact on a creature already enchanted with e.g. Ice Cage or Pacifism? If yes I assume it destroys the enchantment.

Question 2: Is it possible to equip this artifact on several different creatures in the same turn if you have enough mana?

@CSI: Unless something specifically has shroud already, there is no reason you can't equip a creature with the mask. Giving something shroud or hexproof doesn't make any prior enchantments fall off. In the case of Ice Cage, it will, but only because of the effect of Ice Cage.

And yes, you can equip it several times, but only the creature currently equipped has hexproof.

Quick question, because I'm away from the game currently. The creature is hexproof, but can the equipment be targeted and destroyed?

Thanks!

Its a fair card. The one qualm I have, if they had a response they would have used it before you put the equipment on. Which renders the ability defense against top deck.

You could wait until turn 5 to drop a two converted mana cost creature and equip this to it. But that still leaves you open to instant speed responses or even board sweepers. Swiftfoot boots are much better, because your only adding to the converted mana cost instead of and haste is stronger then +1/+2 in my humble opinion.
