Aegis of the Legion
Aegis of the Legion is a compact piece of equipment that converts a single attacker into a steady value engine. Equip it to a creature and you get an immediate bump in combat presence plus mentor on top. Mentor moves +1/+1 counters around during attacks while Aegis keeps chump blockers honest by granting shield counters when mentoring resolves. The interaction is straightforward and repeatable which fits Ravnica play where incremental advantage often decides the board state.
Use Aegis of the Legion to tax removal and bolster key attackers across multiple turns. It rewards attacking lines and careful pairing with creatures that have higher power than most of your opponents creatures. In story terms this shielded standard bears the sigil of a guild that prefers order and mutual reinforcement. Practical, resilient and easy to slot into aggro or midrange builds that value steady growth over flashy swing turns.
