Mine More Value
The Diamond Pick Axe is a compact addition to treasure focused builds. Diamond Pick Axe grants its bearer a steady boost with an extra point to power and toughness and a repeatable economy effect each time that creature attacks. Its printed Indestructible clause keeps it on the battlefield through most removal that would otherwise send an equipment to the graveyard.
In practice the Diamond Pick Axe fits into aggressive token strategies as well as midrange decks that want incremental advantage. Equip cost two means you can attach it early and push through damage to generate Treasure tokens for later mana smoothing. Experienced players will value the piece for its efficiency and the way it supports sacrifice outlets and mana fixing in decks built around The Lost Caverns of Ixalan themes.
