Sword of Feast and Famine Price

Updated 2026-08-07

Sword of Feast and Famine from Mirrodin Besieged is the original printing of the sword most Commander and Legacy players consider the premier piece in the equipment cycle. The card grants protection from black and green and, on dealing combat damage, discards a card from the opponent's hand while untapping all of your lands, enabling additional action in the same turn. This mana untap effect is uniquely powerful in competitive formats, and the card sees play in Legacy Stoneblade and broadly in Commander equipment builds. Mirrodin Besieged is the 2011 set that introduced it at Mythic rarity, reflecting its power level at print. The card has appreciated modestly over the trailing 30 days while the past week shows no movement, consistent with patient Commander demand accumulation. Original Mirrodin Besieged copies carry a collector premium over later reprintings for players who prefer the original frame.
