Description
This Mythic Rare artifact equipment begins as Paleontologist's Pick-Axe, offering players a strategic advantage by allowing them to draw a card and discard one whenever the equipped creature attacks. The card features a mana cost of two and an equip cost of one, making it an accessible tool for early-game resource management. When crafted by exiling the artifact along with creatures from the graveyard or battlefield, it transforms into Dinosaur Headdress.
