About Helm of the Host

Helm of the Host, Legendary artifact — equipment, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in April 2018 in the set Dominaria and was printed exactly in 10 different ways. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 6.12. It's a key card in 12 combos.

A deck that focuses on powerful legendary creatures, such as Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, would greatly benefit from Helm of the Host as it allows for multiple copies of these creatures to be created with haste, potentially overwhelming the opponent. While Helm of the Host is a strong card for such decks, there are alternatives like Blade of Selves that can create multiple copies of creatures without the legendary restriction, making it a better choice in some situations. Helm of the Host should see play in decks looking to maximize the impact of legendary creatures and create a strong board presence.

Rules

04/27/2018

Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this creature] enters the battlefield” or “[this creature] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the chosen creature will also work.

04/27/2018

If the copied creature is a token, the token that’s created copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created that token.

04/27/2018

The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

04/27/2018

The token gains haste indefinitely, and this effect isn’t copiable. If something else copies the token later, that copy won’t have haste.
