Daybreak Chaplain

A 1/3 body for two mana is built to survive, not to attack, and the lifelink attached here works as a defensive lever rather than a source of pressure: the toughness lets it block aggressively or trade up on the ground, while the drip of life it returns when it does swing back reads as friction against a racing opponent, not an engine. Dealing one point at a time keeps the gain incidental, so its real job is structural. This is a Cleric with a keyword white's lifegain payoffs actively count, common-rarity connective tissue for archetypes that reward creature type, sustained board presence, and small repeated life swings. On the battlefield alone it is a speed bump that clogs the ground and taxes an aggressor's math. Folded into a deck built to convert lifelink and Cleric density into something larger, it becomes the cheap, repeatable contributor those synergy shells need bodies like to hold together, the floor the flashier payoffs are stacked on top of.
