Bloodthorn Flail: Brutal Precision
Bloodthorn Flail fits cleanly into a black aggro or equipment toolbox. The card name tells you what to expect and the printed text delivers: attach it to a creature to gain a reliable power edge of plus two and a toughness bump of plus one. The equip cost gives flexibility for tempo plays when you can pay three mana or for card advantage trade offs by discarding. In play this equipment rewards an aggressive plan and pairs well with creatures that benefit from sacrificing or recurring resources.
From a Lost Caverns of Ixalan perspective the flail reads as a piece of Legion of Dusk kit. It is straightforward to evaluate during deck construction and sideboard decisions. Expect it to trade efficiently in combat and to open lines where discarding becomes a resource, not a liability. Use it on a creature with evasion or one you intend to recur and you get persistent incremental value controlled by your sequencing and timing.
