A-Bruenor Battlehammer

Legendary Creature — Dwarf Warrior2 generic manaRed manaWhite mana

The equip tax is the oldest brake on gear-heavy boards: Equipment costs mana to reattach, which historically pins one sword to one carrier and makes moving a piece a real tempo decision. The "A-" prefix marks an Alchemy retuning of the tabletop dwarf king, and the retuning files down that brake without removing it. One free move-Equipment action per turn, restricted to sorcery speed, turns your best sword into a resource you reallocate rather than lock down: shift it to whichever creature dodged removal, or move it onto a fresh threat before your attack step. The "once each turn" limit is the real governor; you are not sloshing your whole arsenal around, you are choosing which single piece most wants to travel, and the sorcery-speed clause means that choice happens on your own main phase, front-loaded rather than reactive. The static buff is the payoff the shuffling feeds: every Equipment on a creature adds a fixed step of power, and the total is the same whether you pile the gear onto one carrier or fan it out across the board. That neutrality is the point. The free move exists to fix positioning, not to farm bonus power: you use it to protect a stacked threat, or to re-arm after a trade, wherever the board has drifted. The 5/4 body is respectable enough to wear a sword or two itself, but its real job is to be the engine that keeps one piece of gear always mobile.
