This is especially the case since youre prepared to use it
Spread counters across multiple creatures instead of stacking one threat
So investigate never sits on the stack by itself, and you cant respond to just investigate happening you can only respond to the spell or ability that tells you to do it
2 mana to cast and equip this Legendary card is already a good rate, and the fact that it generates 2 counters, which you can use even while it is unattached , anytime its equipped creature deals combat damage (thats attacking OR blocking) is insane
Even though Dwynen may die in combat when it attacks since it's only a 3/4, Elves can easily generate a ton of mana, making it trivial to recast Dwynen
Perhaps that the meaning of the imagery could be explained away has happenstanceperhaps the artist didnt know the name of the card?except for the fact that the artist, Harold McNeill, is extremely problematic himself
