Which card is better?

Or

Additionally, the Greaves have 2 shields while the Cartouche has 3.

If you are going to create masterpiece cards which most (all) of us never get to play with, can you at least make them all reasonably playable? If I could convert this thing into runes despite it not being a dupe I would happily do so.

Which card is better?

• Lightning Greaves
• Cartouche of Zeal

[Theros]

The cartouche is much more useful and viable

[Twee]

And how many people have the set required for the masterpieces? Probably very few.

[Laeuftbeidir]

The boots have one advantage : they’re colorless.
That’s it.

[Phase]

Awesome thread. Puts into perspective just how bad the greaves are.

[madwren]

Hilarious. My sympathies.

[Dropspot]

They just need to add vigilance to the MP.

I don’t understand why the greaves don’t grant hexproof, since that’s a key component of the original paper card.
