This little blade offers some pretty powerful combos to a savvy player. The +2/+2 is a nice addition to any creature, but the ability to bring out any creature in your hand is fantastic, especially in Lorwyn, where huge Elemental Incarnations and other high-cost or multi-colored creatures are abundant. This is also a perfect ccard for casual players. They like anything HUGE, EXPENSIVE, and POWERFUL and Deathrender makes a creature larger, stronger, and cheaper. -- By Brian from Saginaw, Texas on December 22, 2007 |

I've never actually played this card, but I'm tempted to build a pseudo-white weenie deck with four of these and four darksteel colossus(es?) just for kicks. Attack with a 1/1 kithkin equipped with deathrender, then when he dies out comes the colossus! Of course it would just be a "for fun" deck, not a tournament deck or anything.... -- By Wesley from Huntsville, AL USA on January 12, 2008 |

As an equipment card, Deathrender cannot compete with other more efficient beat enhancers like Loxodon Warhammer, Vulshok Morningstar, or Bonesplitter. As a combo piece, it shines, maybe not brightly enough to be tier one worthy, but noticeable none the less.
Possibly one of the most interesting applications of this card is in combo with Enduring Renewa, allowing you create virtually unkillable men, especially good with critters that require a manaless sacrifice as part of an ability cost. For example, if your opponent allows you to get the pieces into place, Deathrender along with Enduring Renewal and Mogg Fanatic create an infinite loop of damage that is uncounterable but still breakable with the right timing. -- By Topher from Eau Claire, WI on January 27, 2008 |

This card is Combo Beats and type 2.
I discovered this by accident 2 things
1. deathrender in play attached to a muddbutton torchrunner (when it dies, point 3 damage) 3 mud's in hand and 3 warren pilferer's (comes into play grab a creature out your graveyard) and a no mana cost sac engine, sac, sac, sac, pilferer grab the mudbut, sac, pilfer.... yada anyway its 21 damage
2. and the second deathrender attached to a warren pilferers with a second in the hand and a boggart shenanigans in play (enchant, when a goblin i control dies, 1 damage at a player) and a sac engine
sac the pilferer, pilferer hits the grave, deathrender goes off, drop 2nd pilferer attached to render grab first, rince lather and repeat, unlimited damage potential, and with goblin sledder as the sac engine, uber large creatures -- By BoBatron7000 from Ontario, wallaceburg on March 13, 2008 |

No one has mentioned what seems to be the most obvious combo from this set, that is the Deathrender with Mr. Brion Stoutarm. Since Brion's a giant, you throw him in a giant deck, with plenty of huge creatures that cost a ton to get out, but it doesn't matter, brion throws a Borderland Behemoth for at least ten with deathrender and brings out something else huge that he can throw the next turn like a hamletback. Attack first and kill their weenie blocker, then toss. It's beautiful -- By Eric from Lethbridge, AB Canada on July 01, 2008 |
