Heirloom Steel
Ancestral Blade is a compact, efficient Equipment that turns a spare mana into both a blocker and a steady buff. When Ancestral Blade enters the battlefield you get a 1/1 white Soldier token and the Blade immediately arms that soldier, so you gain an active attacker or chump blocker on the same turn you play it. The equipped creature receives a straightforward +1/+1, which slots cleanly into aggressive or value-oriented white decks.
The card reads like a practical toolkit for limited and early game play. Its low casting cost of one and one white mana preserves tempo while the Equip ability at one mana lets you move the Blade to a more relevant creature later in the game. For pilots who value flexible tempo plays and incremental advantage, Ancestral Blade fits into archetypes that want bodies plus continuous improvement. Add one to your sideboard or main when you need repeatable, low variance equipment.
