Hidden Edge: Concealed Weapon
Concealed Weapon is a compact tool for aggressive red decks that want cheap, repeatable power spikes. As an Artifact Equipment for {1}{R}, it gives any creature a straightforward +3/+0 and a low equip cost of {1}{R}. The card also introduces a flexible disguise line allowing you to play it as a 2/2 with ward 2 for {3} and then turn it face up for 2{R} to surprise opponents and reattach it to a creature you control. Use it to push damage through blockers or to set up damage-based synergies without committing a large mana investment.
In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor the card reads like a quiet trick from the shadows. Play it face down early to present a blocker then flip it when timing favors you. The attach trigger on turn face up pairs well with flicker effects and sacrifice outlets. This Near Mint Foil printing makes it a small collectible upgrade for players who want both playability and table presence in a red aggro or tempo shell.
