About Captain's Hook

Captain's Hook, Artifact — equipment, designed by Kev Walker first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.33.

This card, Captain's Hook, would benefit a deck focused on aggressive strategies that aim to deal damage quickly and efficiently, especially in a Pirate-themed deck. However, due to the drawback of destroying the permanent it becomes unattached from, it may not be the most optimal choice compared to other equipment cards like Sword of Fire and Ice or Sword of Feast and Famine, which offer additional benefits without the risk of self-destruction. While Captain's Hook could see play in specific Pirate tribal decks or casual formats, it may not be a staple in competitive play due to its potential downside.

Rules

01/19/18

Captain’s Hook becomes unattached from the creature it’s equipping if you equip it to a new creature, if Captain’s Hook leaves the battlefield, if the equipped creature ceases to be a creature, or if Captain’s Hook ceases to be an Equipment. (It also becomes unattached if the equipped creature leaves the battlefield, but the triggered ability won’t do anything in that case.)
