Komainu Battle Armor

Description

The Komainu Battle Armor card, designated as number 60 in the 2022 Neon Dynasty Commander subset, represents a distinct entry within Magic: The Gathering's expansive catalog. Designed as an Artifact Creature with the subtypes Equipment and Dog, this card occupies a unique mechanical space that appeals to collectors who appreciate unconventional creature types and hybrid functionality. The card features a mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3, placing it in a strategic mana curve that allows for early-game deployment in red-based decks. Art by Néstor Ossandón Leal, this rare card introduces a versatile mechanic known as Reconfigure. This ability allows the card to function as a standalone 2/2 creature with menace, or it can be attached to another creature you control as equipment. When equipped, the target creature gains +2/+2 power and toughness along with the menace keyword. Furthermore, whenever this creature or its equipped partner deals combat damage to a player, it triggers a goad effect, forcing each creature controlled by that player to attack the player's chosen opponent. This dynamic interaction between offense and control makes the card a compelling addition for enthusiasts of the Commander format. Collectors often seek out cards from the Neon Dynasty set due to its vibrant aesthetic and innovative mechanical designs. Its presence in the growing library of Magic: The Gathering trading cards highlights the game's creative evolution. Whether you are building a thematic deck around canine-themed artifacts or simply appreciating the intricate rules text, this card offers a fascinating piece of gaming history. Its classification as a rare card within the NEC set code further cements its status as a notable item for serious collectors and players alike.
