Tarrian's Soulcleaver: Vigilant Relic
Tarrian's Soulcleaver is a compact piece of toolkit art for decks that want a steady board presence. The equipment costs one to cast and grants the equipped creature vigilance, so it can both attack and remain ready to block. The card is especially useful in creature heavy matchups where preserving tempo and board interaction matters.
The second ability turns every other creature or artifact death into incremental growth by putting a +1/+1 counter on the equipped creature when a permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield. That makes it a reliable engine in attrition games and a good fit with sacrifice synergies or artifact token strategies. Equip two is an easy price to pay for a persistent threat that scales as the game grinds on.
