Two-Handed Axe // Sweeping Cleave
Two power multipliers folded into one card, with the adventure structure handing you the fast half first: you can swing before you ever pick the axe up. Sweeping Cleave grants double strike at instant speed, so a creature attacking for four connects for eight across its two hits, and once it resolves, the artifact half sits in exile waiting to be cast from a later main phase. The equipment side is the slower, stickier cousin of the same fantasy, a doubler that fires on the attack trigger rather than sitting as a static buff, so it multiplies whatever the creature's power actually is at swing time, counters and combat pumps included. The sequencing runs in exactly one direction. You cannot cast the spell off a creature already carrying the axe, since an adventure is only available while the card waits in hand as a spell; instead you cast Sweeping Cleave first, let the artifact settle into exile, cast it from there, equip, and attack. Line all of that up before combat and both multipliers land on one attacker: double strike from the spell, doubled power from the axe's trigger, a genuine blowout rather than a distributed value engine. The tax is entirely mana, never timing. Assemble the full sequence and a modest body punches through a wall of blockers; split it across turns and each half still stands on its own.
