Hook Swords is a two-mana Equipment that grants +1/+1 and gains an additional +2/+0 and reach when paired with a second copy — a conditional payoff that demands you run duplicates to see full value. Outside of formats or decks that can reliably assemble both, it's a bulk rare doing bulk rare things.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Hook Swords is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, and irrelevant in all of them. In Commander, the singleton rule means the paired-swords bonus is essentially unreachable, leaving you with a two-mana Equipment that gives +1/+1 — a floor so low it doesn't justify a deck slot. Legacy and Vintage have no interest in this effect at any price. Oathbreaker shares the singleton constraint, closing off the same avenue.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Hook Swords sits firmly in bulk territory, and there's no pressure pushing it higher — demand is too narrow to move the needle. It's a safe throw-in for a trade binder, not a card worth tracking.
