Infantry Shield

Artifact — Equipment2 generic manaRed mana

Mobilize is the mechanic that turns a single big body into a wide swing, and stapling it to Equipment is where the math gets interesting. The equipped creature's power sets the token count, so the card scales with whatever you strap it to: a modest attacker manufactures a modest board, a genuine bruiser floods the red zone with a Warrior horde every combat. The tokens are ephemeral (tapped, attacking, and sacrificed at end of turn), which means this is an aggression multiplier, not a permanent army-builder; the value lives entirely in the attack step and evaporates before the crackback. Menace is the quiet half that makes the whole thing lethal, forcing multi-blocker math against a board that just doubled or tripled in width. That combination punishes exactly the kind of ground stall that blunts a lone fatty: you can chump the one creature, but not the creature and its escort of expendable soldiers. Because the tokens enter tapped and attacking, they also feed anything that cares about attackers or triggers on creatures entering, and the sacrifice clause hands a stream of fodder to any outlet that wants bodies to eat. The equip cost keeps it cheap to move between threats, so the same piece can escalate whichever creature survived the turn. What it asks of you is a deck built to attack repeatedly with something big; give it that, and it converts a single point of power into a recurring, evasive swarm.
