Apostle of Purifying Light

Protection from black on a white two-drop is a hoser dressed as a beater, and the split of what that keyword buys is unusually clean here: the body can't be killed by black targeted removal, can't be enchanted or equipped by black effects, and slips past black blockers, all while the graveyard-exile ability grinds against black's second engine. Black's whole apparatus leans on the yard (reanimation, delve, escape, recursion loops, delirium counts), and this answers that for two generic mana, one card at a time, from any graveyard including your own. That combination is deliberate: it is not a generic Human Cleric with a stapled-on ability, it is a directed answer to a single color's game plan, packaged onto a creature efficient enough to attack when the matchup does not call for hate. The protection does the immunity work; the activated ability does the attrition work; both point the same direction. The design belongs to a long line of white anti-black hosers that goes back to the earliest sets, but most of that lineage was pure hate with no upside once the opponent wasn't playing black. A two-power body that walks through black's targeted removal and eats black's graveyard folds two jobs (the immune blocker and the graveyard answer) into a single card that still does something in matchups where the protection is dead.
