Basilisk Collar — Bite and Bolster
The Basilisk Collar is a compact artifact that converts any attacker into a trading force. Basilisk Collar grants the equipped creature both deathtouch and lifelink, so trades that would normally fizzle become favorable exchanges that recover life while clearing the board. As an experienced player you will appreciate how {1} casting cost and a low equip price keep this card easy to slide into aggressive and midrange shells alike.
Play it on a small evasive threat or on a large blocker and watch the math swing. The printed Equip 2 lets you reattach the Collar on your turn at sorcery speed, which makes timing and sequencing important in combat and during blocks. Use it to force bad blocks, stabilize against wide boards, or turn removal math in your favor. Practical, efficient, and versatile in multiple archetypes from Foundations.
