Seriously, they could have made it a little better...
Shouldn't a demon-haunted blade be a bit more powerful??

Commander Review: not that great, sadly. The idea is neat, but the card is weak. Why? First, it's quite vulnerable. Artifact removal kills the equipment. Creature removal kills the demon. Any copy artifact / sculpting steel / clone effect can also kill the stuff due to the legendary status. The main reason though is that it's too expensive and requires too much work.
First, as equipment, it requires a creature you control that you can and want to attack with (and the creature obviously shouldn't have shroud or protection from artifacts or whatever). Playing and equipping it costs 8 mana, for a lousy +1/+0. And next you need an opponent to attack, who won't or can't block your creature. And your creature needs to hit that player successfully, without beeing destroyed, bounced or whatever.
If everything turns out alright, you end up with a large demon. That also has no shroud or indestructible or whatever, and thus can be bou... (see all)

Meh. Tragic Slip or even something like Soul Reap or a Reciprocate and Vault of the Archangel combo ought to take this one down without much fuss.

@ morugatu. I'm a Johnny, and I understand this card perfectly. :D
It's telling me to play it in Kaalia of the Vast EDH. What's that? Withengar can't be hacked by Kaalia?
No, but Elbrus can still be hacked by Stoneforge Mystic >:D
White is also the color of the only card that can directly exploit this one's ability:
Shahrazad. Yeeeeep. That's...definitely going to be a lot of counters.

According to daily magic double face rules this card can be used in a EDH deck that isn't black, since elbrus is an artifact and does not count as a black card when it is in a deck
