As an added bonus, the equipped creature cant be blocked by creatures with a power of 2 or less, and legendary creatures can equip it for only 2 Mana as opposed to the 7 it requires for normal creatures
There's also Pitiless Plunderer and Morbid Opportunist here which I thought would hint at a Sacrifice subtheme here but nope, there's 1 sac outlet in the entire deck (Shadow, Mysterious Assassin) and like two or three cards that sacrifice themselves (Priest of Fell Rites) so maybe these are either random "hope for value" inclusions or maybe the remnants of a previous version of the deck that focused more on Sacrifice, who knows
Youre often more than happy to pay two life instead of the extra blue mana, so it effectively costs three mana while also being able to copy artifacts or creatures
That combination is tough to beat
Necropotence This card took a while for competitive MTG players to realize how utterly broken its effect is
And yes, its none other than everyones favorite treasure-stealing monkey
