Paruns' Blade: Flexible Board Presence

Sword of the Paruns rewards careful timing and reads of the board. Sword of the Paruns gives a tapped equipped creature the ability to pump your tapped attackers by two power. If the equipped creature is untapped the same blade shores up your defenses with two extra toughness to untapped creatures you control. That split bonus makes the card useful both as an offensive tempo tool and as a way to shore up a fragile board state.

There is also an activated ability that lets you change the equipped creature between tapped and untapped with three mana. That interaction pairs well with creatures that have enter the battlefield effects or with decks that exploit tapping synergies in Ravnica style builds. For players who value versatility on the battlefield this Equipment sits cleanly at the midgame and pairs with both aggressive and controlling plans.
