Heritage in Steel
Ancestral Blade is a compact, efficient piece of equipment that slides neatly into aggressive and value oriented white decks. When Ancestral Blade enters the battlefield it immediately creates a 1/1 white Soldier token and attaches itself, turning a token into a permanent threat the turn it arrives. That immediate board presence makes the card useful both as early pressure and as a tempo stabilizer against sweepers.
The equipped creature gets +1/+1 and the Blade has an affordable equip cost of {1}, letting you move it between attackers or protect a key creature later in the game. Play it in token lists, white weenie builds, or shells that want resilient bodies and repeatable buffs. The art shows a well cared for blade displayed above an old hearth, a small touch of legacy that suits the Foundations Jumpstart tone. Add Ancestral Blade to your deck to turn incidental tokens into lasting threats and to keep pressure on opponents while you develop your board state.
