Ive been slowly building an equipment commander deck since the start of the year. Managed to throw in some solid hits but Sword of the Animist has been tough to get my hands on.
Overjoyed that I get to add this to the collection- let alone this Aerith ver. :’)

Made it to 3rd place 🏆 at my local @magic.wizards.com Tarkir Dragonstorm pre-release session!
