Swift Steel: Lightning Greaves
Lightning Greaves is a compact piece of equipment that changes how you protect and deploy threats. The greaves grant the equipped creature haste and shroud, letting aggressive commanders or utility creatures attack the turn they hit the battlefield while remaining safe from targeted removal. Because the printed Equip cost is zero, you can instantly move them between creatures during combat or after a board sweep to respond to your opponent without paying extra mana.
In Commander games on Tarkir the card reads as simple utility with deep impact. Use Lightning Greaves to preserve key engines, protect combo pieces, or enable surprise attacks. The art hints at the item origin story found in the set flavor text the ore became iron the iron became steel and the steel became greaves the lightning never left. If you want reliable protection that also accelerates your tempo this Near Mint English copy fits in almost any deck that can include artifacts.
