Sword of Wealth and Power

The newest branch of the Sword cycle, and the one that leans hardest into the spellslinger axis rather than pure creature protection. Every Sword since the original pair has offered the same skeleton: +2/+2, two flavors of protection, and a combat-damage trigger that does something colored. Here the two protected sharpnesses are instants and sorceries, which is a real defensive choice (it walks past most premium removal and most combat tricks in one keyword) but also a self-limiting one: the equipped creature cannot itself be the target of your own instant or sorcery. The damage trigger is the part that changes how you build around it. The Treasure is straightforward acceleration, but the spell-copy clause is a delayed trigger that waits for your next instant or sorcery this turn and duplicates it with fresh targets. That reframes the Equipment from a beatstick into a payoff for a deck already casting spells: connect once, then fire off a burn spell, a counter, a tutor, or a card-draw spell and get it twice. The design tension is timing. The copy only fires if you connect and then have a spell to cast in the same turn, so the reward asks you to hold up mana behind a creature that has already dealt damage, rather than tapping out to protect it. It rewards a hand that is already doing two things at once, which is a narrower and more demanding ask than the older Swords, whose triggers paid off no matter what else you were doing.
