Elven Bow

Most Equipment sits inert without a body to hold it and a second equip payment to get there; this one folds both requirements into a single optional on entry, minting the 1/1 Elf Warrior it wants and stapling itself on for free. Pay it into a creature-light draw and the whole package arrives at once: a reach-bearing blocker with a buffed frame, no follow-up turn required. That reach clause is the pointed part. Green typically answers fliers with dedicated air defense or a fight spell, not with gear, so a repeatable defensive body you can migrate onto whatever the equipment lands on is a role the color rarely fills through Equipment. After the token exists, the card flattens into a plain +1/+2 and a stiff equip, so relocating it later costs real tempo: nearly everything worth having is loaded into that first entry trigger, with later mobility priced high on purpose. The optional payment is the reason a single card answers two different hands: spend the into an empty board for presence you lacked, or skip it when creatures are already down and keep cheap gear to buff and defend one of them.
