Hunter's Blowgun is a low cost tool that rewards timing and tactical placement. As an Artifact Equipment for one mana it gives the equipped creature a modest boost of +1/+1. The card flips its role depending on the turn. On your turn the bearer gains deathtouch, making trades and deterrence straightforward. On the opponent's turn the same bearer gains reach which helps shore up defenses.
This foil print from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is practical in both early tempo and midgame support lines. Equip for two mana when you can afford the sorcery timing and attach it to a blocker or a lethal threat to exploit deathtouch on attack. The low overhead and flexible defensive upside make Hunter's Blowgun a solid include in aggro shells and creature based control lists that like to force favorable trades.
