(When this equipment enters create a colorless 1/1 Hero creature token and attach this to it.) Equipped creature gets +1/+0 and is a Knight in addition to its other types
Straight out of the gate, Unrivaled Lethality doubles all damage that this card deals (and that can stack with double strike), not just combat damage, making it actually more like a 4/2 for three mana, but thanks to its next ability to easily get more counters when it deals damage to another creature which can quickly make this card a powerhouse
Other options include Outpost Siege, which is like an Experimental Frenzy but can be played alongside Eidolon of the Great Revel, and Burning Earth, a card I found while going through Gatherer that I think is surprisingly good against Black-Red Midrange and Blue-Red Phoenix as they play so few basic lands
Opponents can usually sniff out which battalion creature to remove before it has a chance to attack, but Legion Loyalist attacks the turn it hits the field, hopefully with a boardstate thatll allow you to trigger its effect
Your creature lands and is effective immediately
