Hankyu

A bow that fires only after you stop tapping it for anything else. The whole mechanism is a charge-up engine: every turn the equipped creature spends activating Hankyu adds an aim counter, and the payoff is a single arrow whose damage equals every counter you have hoarded. That makes the cost not the equip fee but the tempo: each charge turn is a turn the creature is tapped, not attacking, not blocking, not advancing your board, all in service of a future bolt that you have to commit to firing eventually before something kills the archer. It is a design built around delayed gratification on a creature that has to survive long enough to deliver it, and the longer it lives the worse the threat assessment gets for the opponent, who can see the counters stacking and has to decide whether to spend removal now or eat the shot later. The friction is honest: a vigilance-style ability removes the choice between attacking and aiming, and a way to untap the holder turns the trickle into a flood, but on its own this asks the bearer to choose between offense and ammunition every single turn. It is an early experiment in turning a static damage source into a resource you build up over time, the kind of slow-burn ranged weapon that rewards a board state stable enough to let one creature sit and aim while the rest of the game waits.
