Amazing for EDH. especially if you slap that sonbitch on a first/double striking creature

Kamahal, Pit Fighter, with his tap to do damage ability, would also work wonders, and this gets rid of his poor toughness rating, too.

This causes extreme lulz with Scourge of Kher Ridges. Not only do you have an astounding 11 flyer, but you also get to practically Final Judgment the board for 2 (or 6, if your opponent has a lot of flyers).

Its a bit pricey, but can be spaced out over two turns. What I like about this card is it gives you exile without stacking your deck with exile instant cards. Handy way to get rid of all those unearth and persist cards. Otherwise your stuck to a set of unmake, or the slightly less powerful but very helpful oblivion ring. Instead you can have 1 card that keeps on working for you as long as it stays in play. The biggest downside is simply the mana cost.

How unfortunate that the new rules for combat damage nerf this ability quite a bit when it's combined with First Strike. It's actually feasible to block Kaldra with all his equipment and kill it. You would have to give it the redundant Death Touch.

Kamahl? Pfft, more like Jeska. First strike and ping? Seems abusive to me. Though the cliffrider is definitely the most nasty thing I can think of :)

Brigid + this

opponent attacks, you tap brig, she deals 2 damage to all attacking creatures, exile them all

This card is nice because you have some possibilities. Any 1/1 creature you have can be a 6/6 on play. And the fact it's an equipment makes you do it over and over.
Artifacts are easy to destroy, maybe you should have Shield of Kaldra first, or other stuff that can make it harder to destroy.
For the pricey, Arcum Dagsson and Master Transmuter can help on it.
If killing creature is your objective, you can use Prodigal Sorcerer or Prodigal Pyromancer.
Well, like I said. Lots of possibilities.

Ordered this card for casual play. I plan to use Kuldotha Forgemaster to pull it out.

99% of the time, deathtouch is better.
Deathtouch combos with trample and costs less to implement.

This card with any creature could win games. Exile and +5/+5 is insane. If only i had this card

I got this card in my first booster pack ever. At the time, my brother and I both only had one starter deck each... I slipped this card in for some serious damage. Good times. Good times.

Pairs nicely with Viridian Longbow.

My hermetic study + horseshoe crab blue ping deck just got better. Looks like I'll be taking out my Blight sickle for this.

Well.. Your "Girlfriend" is a bloody WH0RE!!! Hahaha I'm kidding. She's a sweetheart. Maybe. I just had an uncontrollable urge to be an @$$hole and I apologize. A WH0RE!! Again, I am sorry.

@kiseki

This combos with trample. This also ruins graveyard decks. It's exiletouch, the exact same thing as deathtouch except it exiles creatures instead of killing them. It also gives +5/+5. Sword of Kaldra legit.

Throw a Helm of Kaldra on it and it becames game over for your opponents. Also, has wonderful flavor.

Combos amazingly well with Runeclaw Bear. A 7/7 that can remove any creature it damages from the game? Sign me up.

Kaldra's Avatar! No! I think I'd rather give the Sword, Shield, and Helm to my Mirran Crusader.

Then give him a Sword of War and Peace in his third hand (or maybe he straps the shield onto his back, hmmm...).

Sword of Kaldra, Shield of Kaldra, and Helm of Kaldra!

By your powers combined, I am the picture in this article!

I know it kinda screws up her big ability, but put this on Olivia and you can ping off many creatures per turn.

I just realized that since the "exiletouch" is a triggered ability, it won't work if the creature is in the graveyard when it resolves. Most creatures aren't going to survive getting smacked by a creature with +5/+5, so this card won't lead to many creature being exiled in combat. Still a good card, though, especially if you can Dagsson up its friends.

Misthollow Griffin alone can withstand the awesome power of this sword.

Proof that you can, in fact, go sharper than a vorpal blade.

Vorpal blades may hurt like hell, but why stop there? Just make your foe cease to exist!

I bet Stonehewer Giant loves himself some Kaldra equipment.

In case your Gisela, Blade of Goldnight EDH deck didn't have enough overkill already.

This, Kumano and Kusari-Gama.

Don't block my War Elemental?
Gets huge.

Do?
No more creatures.
Fun.

Turns any creature into almost-Pit Spawn with a bigger butt.
