Sword of the Paruns: Tactical Blade
Sword of the Paruns is a knife at the rules table. This artifact equipment from Ravnica Remastered rewards board state awareness. Equip it to a creature and choose how the squad lines up. When the bearer is tapped your tapped creatures get an edge in damage. When the bearer is untapped your untapped creatures become harder to wear down. The printed retro frame art evokes guild banners and organized strike lines which fits decks that mix tempo and coordinated attacks.
Play it in token builds or tempo shells where flipping a creature between tapped and untapped matters. The activated ability lets you tap or untap the equipped creature for three mana giving you flexible timing. In practice the Sword of the Paruns forces opponents to address a single threat that changes what your whole board does. Near Mint condition and English language make this a tidy upgrade piece for any Ravnica themed collection.
