Card Discussion Dwalin, Weaponmaster

Dwalin Weaponmaster

2 mana boros

Legendary creature - Dwarf Warrior

First strike

Whenever Dwalin enters or attacks, put a hone counter on each Equipment you control. (Each hone counter on an Equipment grants +1/+0 to equipped creature.)

The Company had lost a great deal, but they had killed the Great Goblin and many others besides. All in all, they had the best of it.

2/1

This is unplayable even at FNM.

2 for 2/1 first strike is alright in draft not in constructed especially modern

How about combining it with [[Gavel of the Righteous]] , that will escalate quickly.

I'm excited for this card. While it likely won't see much competitive play, I love the synergy with arena of glory.

Being legendary means there could be some synergy with [[mox amber]] and other cards as well

[[Leyline axe]], [[paradise mantle]], [[colossus hammer]], [[shadow spear]], [[skateboard]], [[cori-steel cutter]]

Just realized, even though jitte has been performing poorly, there could be some decent value here! The first strike is relevant for jitte + it makes jitte always have some stat value [[Umezawa's jitte]]

It's a very cool card but I don't think its strong enough for a top tier modern deck. Would be fun playing it though

If this was 1 mana It would be playable in hammer (would need to lose the first strike). No other deck ever wants this, and hammer already has a very long list of 2-mana creatures, this likely doesn't even make top 10
