Transmogrant's Crown

Aggressive equipment that made peace with its own downside. Most cheap Equipment has to pretend the equipped creature will survive: the buff is only worth anything if the body sticks around to swing with it. This one prices in the loss up front, turning every trade, chump, and removal spell aimed at the wearer into a replacement card. That reframes the +2/+0 not as a fragile investment but as a floor: attack into what you can, and if the creature dies you cash out. The dual equip cost is the part doing quiet work, letting a colorless artifact slot into a black deck at a discount, equipping for a single black mana, while staying castable and reusable in a deck that runs no black at all. It rewards exactly the kind of expendable board a sacrifice or go-wide shell already wants to build: cheap creatures whose deaths keep the hand replenishing rather than draining it. The death trigger fires no matter how the creature dies, so blocking, sacrifice fodder, and getting blown out by a removal spell all read the same to the Crown. It is a small, honest engine dressed as a beater: the two mana buys a threat that draws you a card on the way out.
