Drossclaw: Living Weapon on the Battlefield
Drossclaw is a compact artifact built for reliable board presence in Modern Horizons 3. For {1}{B}{B}, Living Weapon enters the battlefield creating a 0/0 black Phyrexian Germ creature token, then attaches to it. The Germ becomes a 1/1 creature immediately, giving you a ready threat you can pressure with subsequent plays. This interaction fits neatly into aggressive and midrange lines that lean on resilient bodies and predictable outcomes.
Equipped creature gets +1/+1, so your Germ and the body you attach to later phase into a sturdier attacker. Whenever equipped creature attacks, each opponent loses 1 life, providing a steady source of reach across multiple opponents. Equip 2 keeps the tool flexible as the game shifts, allowing you to move the weapon to new bodies without losing momentum. In Modern Horizons 3 you will value equipment that creates a token while maintaining a consistent buff.
