Argent Dais

The oil-counter meter is what turns this from an overpriced removal spell into a machine that pays for itself. It arrives loaded with two charges, exactly enough for one activation out of the gate, and every combat where two or more creatures swing (yours or the opponent's) inches it toward the next: a deck built wide accelerates it, but so does an aggressive board attacking into you, so the recharge tracks the pace of the whole game's combat rather than your offense alone. The activation is real removal, exiling any nonland permanent regardless of type, and that clean answer is why the card gives something back. This is white's familiar bargain for unconditional exile, the same lineage as Council's Judgment: erase anything, but pay for it, whether by narrowing the target list, leaning on group voting, or, here, surrendering two cards to the exiled permanent's controller. That refill is usually a tax you can afford because you expect to close before it matters, but the "its controller draws" clause cuts the other way too: point the exile at your own permanent, a spent token or a creature that has done its work, and the two cards land in your hand instead. Two caveats sit in the fine print. The ability targets, so protection from white shuts it off, and the two-counter cost caps how often it fires: absent enough attackers to keep the meter fed, you get one activation and then a rebuild.
