Djeru, With Eyes Open

Legendary Creature — Human Warrior3 generic manaWhite manaWhite mana

A planeswalker tutor stapled to a body that also defends the things it fetches: the design is unusually self-contained for a five-mana white creature. The enters-the-battlefield search is the headline, pulling any planeswalker straight to hand, but the static damage-prevention clause is the part that reveals the intent. Shaving one damage off every hit a planeswalker you control takes is small in isolation; across a board of multiple planeswalkers and a long game, it turns a single point of incidental burn into a permanent tax, and it stretches the loyalty math on every walker you protect. The two halves point at the same archetype: find the planeswalker, then keep it alive a turn longer than the opponent's removal expects. Vigilance ties the package together, letting Djeru hold back as a 4/3 blocker without surrendering the pressure of attacking, which matters when your real win conditions are the loyalty engines parked behind him. It is a build-around premise rather than a generically efficient card: the search is dead in a deck running no planeswalkers, and the prevention does nothing without them either. That dependence is the cost the design pays for handing you a creature, a tutor, and a defensive shell in one slot.

Vigilance When Djeru enters, you may search your library for a planeswalker card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. If a source would deal damage to a planeswalker you control, prevent 1 of that damage.
