Stab, Strike, Summon
The Spear of Leonidas is a compact toolkit in red equipment form that rewards aggressive sequencing and tight reads. As an experienced player you will appreciate how its attack trigger forces a choice each combat, letting the equipped creature swap between finishing blows with double strike, board presence by creating a 3/2 Phobos horse token, or card filtering by discarding then drawing to dig for answers. The card reads simply but covers multiple roles a red deck might need in midgame turns.
Play it on a tempo creature, push through damage with Bull Rush, or convert an attack into card advantage with Revelation. The Spear of Leonidas suits decks that want flexible on-attack options and a low equip cost for quick redeploys. Add one to your list if you value tools that turn combat decisions into value plays. Pick up this Light Play copy and slot it where a single extra point of power or a surprise token can change an engagement.
