Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver

Description

Designed by Francisco Badilla, this card brings a distinct strategic element to the trading card game with its specific mana cost of {3} and mana value of 3. As a Legendary Artifact, it occupies a unique space in deck construction, offering players a powerful tool for controlling the board state. Orcrist Goblin-cleaver functions primarily as an Equipment, allowing players to attach it to their creatures to enhance their combat capabilities. When equipped, the creature gains a +2/+2 power and toughness boost along with the trample ability, enabling it to deal excess damage to opposing players even if blocked. This combination of stats and keyword makes it a formidable presence in aggressive or midrange strategies. The card’s secondary ability triggers whenever the equipped creature deals combat damage to a player. At that moment, the controller chooses a creature type and creates a Treasure token for each creature they control of that chosen type. This mechanic encourages players to build synergistic boards, rewarding them with resource generation that can fuel further spells or equipment attachments. The equip cost is {3}, requiring careful resource management to maintain the attachment. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic appeal, making it a standout piece for those building themed collections or seeking high-value Mythic Rare cards. Whether for competitive play or archival purposes, this card represents a significant addition to the 2026 set.
