Baseball Bat

Aggression that carries its own answer to the block. The tap trigger fires on attack rather than on combat damage, which means it resolves during the declare-attackers step: the creature you tap is a blocker removed before blocks are ever assigned. That timing is the whole reason a modest +1/+1 buff earns its keep. Most white and green combat tricks either grow a creature or clear a lane; this equipment does both on the same swing, turning every attack into a small tempo tax on the defender. The enters-attached clause is the quiet efficiency here: no equip fee on the first creature, so it plays out like a two-mana buff that stays put, with the equip only mattering when you want to move the bonus after a trade. It rewards a board wide enough to keep swinging, since the tap follows whichever body wears it, and it punishes decks that lean on a single premier blocker to hold the fort. The flavor lands cleanly for once: a blunt instrument that clears the path in front of you.
