Gisa's Favorite Shovel

Legendary Artifact — Equipment1 generic manaBlack mana

A joke-title Equipment that turns out to be a genuinely mean edict engine, taxing the defender every time you swing rather than once on a spell. The menace and the +2/+0 are the setup: they make the equipped creature hard to gang-block and expensive to chump, so the attack trigger lands the way it wants to. The real distinction is cadence. This is not a one-shot edict; it is a per-combat toll, and letting the defending player choose which creature to lose does not soften it much once they are down to bad options. The Walker token you create on each successful edict quietly turns the removal into a board-building loop, so the deck that empties an opponent's side is also the deck accruing bodies. The steep equip cost of 4 generic mana is the counterweight: reattaching after a blocker trade or a bounce costs you dearly, and the card rewards creatures that stick and a plan built on repeated attacks rather than one lethal turn. Recurring edict effects usually punish creature-light boards from a spell slot; this one relocates the pressure onto the combat step, where evasion and the sacrifice clause compound. The horror-camp flavor is the wrapper; underneath is a disciplined attack-tax equipment that pays you for keeping one evasive threat alive and swinging with it turn after turn.
