True-Faith Censer

The conditional bonus is the whole design intent here: a generic +1/+1-and-vigilance equipment that quietly becomes a +2/+1-and-vigilance equipment the moment the wearer is a Human. That gap does tribal-payoff work without ever printing the word "tribe," rewarding decks built around a creature type while never punishing decks that lack it. The floor is a serviceable combat-equipment rate; the ceiling is meaningfully better only for the deck that earns it. Vigilance is the part that makes the equip cost feel honest, letting the equipped attacker keep defending on the swing back, which is exactly what an aggressive Human board wants when it is also worried about the crackback. The restraint worth noticing is that the Human clause adds only power, not toughness, so the bonus translates directly into a faster clock and combat-trick math rather than defensive bulk. As equipment, it sits in the long line of cheap buffs whose appeal is durability: when the equipped creature dies, the buff stays on the battlefield and re-attaches to a fresh body for the equip cost, so the investment survives removal in a way an Aura never does. The type-conditional rider gives it a sharper identity than the usual colorless +1/+1 stick, asking one question at deckbuild time and scaling its answer to how thoroughly you commit to Humans.
