Samurai's Katana
Oracle Text

Murasame — Equip {5}
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Samurai's Katana immediately punches above its mana cost: the Job select trigger makes a 1/1 Hero and auto-attaches, giving you a 3/3 haste, trample Samurai the turn it hits the battlefield, which pushes a tempo/aggro game plan and also supports value lines through repeated ETB loops. Because the equip cost (Murasame {5}) is steep, build around cheating the attachment or getting extra mileage — include cards that attach or equip for free, effects that blink or recur artifacts so you can retrigger Job select, or sacrifice outlets and fling-style finishers to convert the token’s haste and trample into direct damage. It’s a natural fit in Boros or Rakdos decks that want efficient, hard-to-block beats, or in Equipment-centric midrange shells that tutor and protect artifacts; it also doubles as Samurai tribal fuel for any card that cares about creature types. In short, treat the Katana as a one-time tempo swing that you either cash in immediately or design your shell to reuse.
