Beloved Chaplain

Protection from black was the keyword White Knight carried as insurance against removal and combat tricks, but moving protection from creatures onto a plain two-mana Cleric reframes what the ability is good for. Nothing on the ground can block this 1/1: walls, deathtouch bodies, every creature is a creature, and the keyword refuses all of them. The same clause turns aside most creature-sourced answers too, so combat damage, fight effects, deathtouch, and creature-targeted removal all slide off harmlessly. What it cannot dodge is everything that does not damage, target, block, or attach: burn, edicts, board wipes, targeted destruction from a noncreature source. That gap keeps it a fragile clock rather than a genuine must-answer threat, and the trade is plain in the body itself. A 1/1 that walks through the red zone unimpeded but dies to a single removal spell is built to wear something: a sword, an aura, any equipment whose bonus rides along with the evasion. As a Cleric it sits in the long White Weenie tradition of protection creatures (the various Knights and Paladins) that slipped damage past clogged boards, and it represents the leanest version of that idea, paying for only the one clause that matters most against a ground stall and skipping the broader protections its predecessors carried.
