Harvest Hand // Scrounged Scythe

The clever part is that dying is not a setback here: it's the second half of the card. A 2/2 Scarecrow that wants to attack and trade, knowing the trade isn't a loss but a phase change, flipping into an Equipment that waits on the battlefield to be picked up. The transform mechanic does the work that a death trigger fetching an Equipment from the graveyard would do in another color, except it folds both halves into one card slot and skips the search entirely. The catch is that the back half doesn't arrive attached to anything. The Scythe returns transformed and loose, so the +1/+1 anvil costs to equip onto a carrier at sorcery speed, and the same every time you want to move it. That's the real tax on the engine: you spend a body in combat to flip the card, then keep paying mana to keep the blade swinging on a fresh creature. The menace clause sharpens the carve-out. It only switches on when the equipped creature is a Human, quietly tethering the back half to Human aggro shells rather than handing out generic evasion to anything that holds it. The tension between a creature that profits from combat and an Equipment that demands sorcery-speed maintenance is the design's spine, and it rewards a board wide enough to keep feeding the Scythe a new shoulder to ride on.
