About Blade of the Bloodchief

Blade of the Bloodchief, Artifact — equipment, designed by Jung Park first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 217.64. It's a key card in 4 combos.

A deck focused on sacrificing creatures or generating tokens would benefit from Blade of the Bloodchief, especially if it includes Vampire creatures. While there may be more powerful equipment cards available, Blade of the Bloodchief's synergy with creature sacrifice strategies makes it a strong choice for certain decks, particularly those looking to boost their creatures' power and toughness consistently. It could see play in decks that can reliably trigger its ability and take advantage of the +1/+1 counters it provides.

Rules

10/01/09

Blade of the Bloodchief’s ability triggers regardless of who controlled the creature and whose graveyard it was put into.

10/01/09

If the equipped creature itself is put into a graveyard, Blade of the Bloodchief’s ability will trigger. However, it won’t do anything when it resolves unless a spell or ability has caused it to become attached to another creature by that time. (Remember that you may activate an equip ability only as a sorcery.)

10/01/09

The creature that gets the counters is the one that’s equipped by Blade of the Bloodchief at the time the ability resolves. It doesn’t matter what creature Blade of the Bloodchief was attached to (if any) when it triggered.
