Shielded Mentor for Your Frontline
Aegis of the Legion is a compact equipment that turns an attacking creature into both a grower and a protector. The equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has mentor, so each attack can funnel a permanent power boost into a smaller attacker. In practical play this card rewards incremental advantage and targeted attacks rather than a single big push.
The second line of text creates a tidy synergy with mentor triggers. Whenever equipped creature mentors a creature, put a shield counter on that creature. Shield counters act as a one time damage or destruction prevention resource. In deckbuilding terms Aegis of the Legion finds a place in aggressive white red lists that value resilient board development and creatures that trade up while staying on the battlefield. Near Mint English print from Ravnica: Clue Edition makes it a good pick for play or collection.
