Sigiled Sword of Valeron

Most Equipment pays its cost once and then idles: it patches a stat line and sits there. This one keeps working as long as you keep attacking. The attack trigger is the whole distinction from a plain buff-stick, spinning out a fresh 2/2 every time the suited-up creature swings rather than parking a single bonus on the board. Vigilance doing double duty is what makes that safe. The equipped creature stays back to block while still generating tokens, and those tokens enter attacking but untapped, so a single swing widens your side of the board without dropping your guard. The Knight type-grant retrofits any bearer into tribal payoffs, though the token engine runs fine on a creature that shares nothing with it. The cost structure names the intended deck: three to cast, three to equip, so it wants to land early on a creature that survives combat and then compound across multiple attack steps rather than deliver one big hit and fall off. It rewards patience over tempo, doing almost nothing the turn it enters and a great deal across the several turns after, as long as you have a body durable enough to keep carrying it into the red zone.
