This is likely a reference to Hades' helmet of invisibility, which was granted to him by the cyclops prior to the battle with the Titans. Hades' name itself means "invisible" in ancient doric accent.

In limited, this is a great, great card. This set's Rogue's Passage.
Also, the first card to specifically interact with Walls since M10. In case anyone asks, non-Wall defender can NOT block a creature equipped with this.

Heh, haven't seen "can't be blocked except by walls" on a card for a long time. And yes, there is only one wall in the set and only, like, three walls in all of standard, so this might as well read "unblockable." Or "can't be blocked," I guess. Gah, I'm still getting used to that.

It's actually quite nice. Not as good as Whispersilk Cloak, but it gets the job done.

A reference to the helmet of Hades. Also a reference to Invisibility.

This might as well say "Equipped creature can't be blocked except by Mnemonic Wall" in Theros limited.

Solid way to break a massive board stall in a limited match. A good creature is great, but it can get multi-blocked and is susceptible to removal. An evasive equipment card stays on the board and dodges most removal.

There's only one Wall in Theros (the common Mnemonic Wall). Yet there are FIVE other creatures with Defender: Guardians of Meletis and Returned Phalanx (commons), and Akroan Horse, Colossus of Akros, and Sylvan Caryatid (rares).

Works well with prowl, amusingly enough.

Makes Deathcult Rogue unblockable except by Wall Rogues.
