Torch the Line

Sunfire Torch is a compact, efficient piece of equipment that offers immediate tempo in aggro decks. The card Sunfire Torch grants the equipped creature +1/+0 and a triggered option when attacking that converts the equipment into direct damage. That trade is straightforward to evaluate in combat. You get a small persistent boost and the flexibility to turn that bonus into two points of removal or face damage at the moment it matters.

As an experienced player you will appreciate how Sunfire Torch fits into red's risk and reward patterns. Equip for one mana gives low commitment and frequent attacks make the sacrifice clause meaningful rather than prohibitive. Use Sunfire Torch to punch through blockers or to clear a low toughness blocker before lethal damage is assigned. The card is a practical inclusion where repeated attacking and cheap equipment matter more than long term beef.
