Blade of Selves
Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature has myriad. (Whenever it attacks, for each opponent other than defending player, you may create a token copy that's tapped and attacking that player or a planeswalker they control. Exile the tokens at end of combat.)

Blade of Selves turns any attacking creature into a one-sided board flood — every opponent gets a token copy, and at three mana to equip, that rate is absurd. Strap it to something like Blightsteel Colossus and the game ends on the spot; even in fair contexts, The Master, Multiplied wearing it generates an immediate army of legendary triggers across the table.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
The Master, Multiplied
The Master, Multiplied is literally named for this effect — Blade of Selves puts a copy in front of each opponent, and each copy immediately fires The Master's triggered ability, stacking Doctor token generation and other enter-the-battlefield payoffs before the tokens vanish at end of combat.
Deadpool, Trading Card
Deadpool, Trading Card wants to die repeatedly and reward you for it, so Blade of Selves delivers multiple enter-the-battlefield and death triggers per attack — the myriad copies sacrifice themselves at end of combat automatically, doing all the work Deadpool's text cares about.
Roxanne, Starfall Savant
Roxanne, Starfall Savant cares about how many creatures attack and the mana they produce, so Blade of Selves multiplies both the trigger count and the board presence swinging in — each myriad copy attacking a different player means Roxanne's meteor shower scales with the number of opponents.
Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms
Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms scales on creatures entering or attacking, and Blade of Selves floods the attack step with additional copies that count toward every relevant trigger he cares about.
Neriv, Heart of the Storm
Neriv, Heart of the Storm rewards spell and creature volume, and Blade of Selves effectively multiplies the creatures entering combat, stacking the triggers Neriv needs to convert into cards and storm-style value.

Blade of Selves is a Commander card through and through — the myriad keyword is mechanically designed around multiplayer, and in a four-player pod it produces two token copies per attack, which is where the effect breaks open. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but sees no meaningful play; the equip cost is too slow for those formats and attacking with vanilla creatures rarely wins in two-player games where myriad creates exactly one token. Oathbreaker shares Commander's multiplayer structure, so Blade of Selves carries the same ceiling there. Anywhere with a single opponent, you're paying three mana to equip an equipment that does nothing extra — save it for Commander.
