Sear with a Torch
Sunfire Torch is a compact tool that converts a single red mana into repeated tempo. As an Artifact Equipment from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan this common foil attaches cheaply and gives an equipped creature a straightforward +1/+0 edge in combat. The printed ability lets you trade the torch for direct damage when attacking which creates clean decision points for attacking or preserving the creature.
Use Sunfire Torch in aggressive decks that value incremental damage and creature trades. It pairs well with creatures that have enters the battlefield or attack triggers since sacrificing the torch deals two damage to any target and still leaves the attacker in play if you choose. The Light Play foil presents the same play patterns with a subtle sheen that appeals to table players and collectors alike.
