Ancestral Blade, Artifact — equipment, designed by Scott Murphy first released in Jun, 2019 in the set Core Set 2020 and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
Ancestral Blade would be beneficial in a white weenie or token-based deck, providing a cheap way to generate a creature and boost its power. While there may be more powerful equipment cards available, Ancestral Blade's low cost and immediate impact make it a solid choice for decks looking to go wide and apply early pressure on the board, making it a viable option for play in the right deck.

If the triggered ability causes two Soldiers to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), Ancestral Blade becomes attached to one of them.

The Soldier token that you create enters the battlefield as a 1/1 creature. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield will see the token enter as a 1/1 creature. Static abilities that affect the Soldier’s power and toughness may change this, but Ancestral Blade will be attached to the Soldier before the game checks to see if it has toughness 0 or less. For example, if Illness in the Ranks (“Creature tokens get -1/-1”) is on the battlefield, the Soldier will enter as a 0/0 creature, but then Ancestral Blade will make it a 1/1 and the token will survive.
