Artifact — Equipment3 generic mana

The +4/+0 is the alibi; the unattach ability is the card. Equip it to anything, swing, then crack it at instant speed to tutor up and free-cast a red-or-white instant of mana value four or less, the activation itself unattaching the Equipment so it can re-equip and fire again next turn. That recurring tutor-for-an-instant is what made this a toolbox engine rather than a beater enabler: one deck slot that becomes Path to Exile against a creature, Boros Charm against a board wipe, a counterspell-adjacent answer or a burn finisher, all on demand and all cast for free. What stops it from being a generic free-spell printer is narrow and exact: red or white only, instants only, mana value four or less. That ceiling rules out the format-warping bombs and forces the package to be assembled from efficient, situational answers, which is precisely the deck-construction puzzle the card rewards. Firing during combat or on an opponent's turn does the rest of the design work: the equipped creature is a threat the opponent must respect even as the real value sits behind it, a hammer that doubles as a wrench. It remains the defining build-around for two-color Boros toolbox strategies, the card that gives the guild's otherwise-aggressive identity a measure of reactive depth without ever leaving its colors.
