Sword of Body and Mind

The black sheep of the protection-from-two-colors equipment cycle, and the one whose payoff points away from what equipment wants to do. Each sword in the line pairs evasion against two colors with a combat-damage reward, and the strongest members hand you something that compounds: cards drawn, life gained, repeatable removal. This one mills ten and makes a 2/2 Wolf, a reward that reads loud but rarely converts. Ten cards a hit is a slow clock against most libraries, and the player on the receiving end is the one who fills a graveyard, so against decks that want their yard stocked the mill works at cross purposes with itself. The Wolf is the more honest half: a real body that widens the board while the equipped creature keeps swinging. Protection from green and from blue does genuine evasion work under the DEBT rules: damage prevented, the creature can't be blocked by those colors, can't be targeted by their removal, can't be enchanted or equipped by them. But the colors covered are softer than the red-or-black and white-or-black combinations the cycle's better swords carry. The trigger fires only on combat damage to a player, so every line through this card runs through connecting first, and the reward you get for connecting is the one most likely to help the player you hit. Among its siblings, it stays the one you equip last.
