Dire Flail gives the equipped creature a straight forward boost of +2\/+0 while its Equip cost of 1 keeps it cheap to attach after the first play. In practice the card buys early tempo, trades effectively and slots into artifact synergies without asking for a heavy investment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere Dire Flail becomes interesting is its Craft ability. For {3}{R}{R} you can exile this artifact along with another artifact you control or one from your graveyard to return the card transformed under your control. That lets you convert a short term stat boost into a later board changing option while still fitting the Lost Caverns of Ixalan theme of scavenging relics. Play it when you want to push damage now and preserve a follow up plan for the mid game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost\u003c\/b\u003e – {R}\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type\u003c\/b\u003e – Artifact, Equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes\u003c\/b\u003e – Equipment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text \/ Rules Text (Printed)\u003c\/b\u003e – Equipped creature gets +2\/+0.
