Bronzeplate Boar

Artifact Creature — Equipment Boar2 generic manaRed mana

Reconfigure exists to solve the oldest structural problem with creature-based Equipment: a Living Weapon or a body that suits up leaves you overextended into a board wipe if you commit it early, and stranded as a vanilla beater if you never draw the creature to carry it. Here the answer is a 3/2 with trample that fights on its own until you find a better host, then bolts on for +3/+2 and trample when you do. The 5 generic mana reconfigure cost is deliberately steep: three mana buys a fine aggressive creature, but converting it into a piece of gear and back costs a premium, so committing to the swap means giving up a turn's worth of attacking to relocate the buff onto a body that already connects. Reconfigure resolves before combat rather than during it, so you announce the attachment ahead of the attack step: no ambushing blockers, no last-second surprise on the size of an incoming creature. Trample sits on both the base body and the granted bonus, which is the quiet through-line here: whatever wears the boar punches past a lone chump rather than getting walled by a spare token. A workmanlike expression of a keyword built to give aggressive red a threat that stays live whether or not a bigger creature ever shows up.
