Ramosian Greatsword is a three-mana equipment that equips for two and grants +2/+0 with first strike — a mediocre rate by any modern standard. Cheaper, stronger equipment exists at every point on this curve, and Ramosian Greatsword brings no enters-the-battlefield effect, no utility text, and no reason to slot it over the competition.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Ramosian Greatsword is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but legality and playability are different things. In Commander, the format where equipment strategies thrive most, it falls well short of the bar — five total mana to suit up a creature is too slow when Sword of Fire and Ice and even budget options like Bonesplitter exist. In competitive formats like Legacy, Modern, and Vintage, it sees no meaningful play; those formats demand efficiency Ramosian Greatsword simply doesn't offer. It's a bulk card across every format it's legal in.

Price Context
Current price
$0.10 bulk tier
At $0.10, Ramosian Greatsword is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a bulk bin rather than a deck slot. There's no meaningful demand to push that price up, and it's unlikely to move.
