Fairgrounds Warden

The line of white temporary-exile bodies has always traded between size and reach: Banisher Priest stapled the effect to a 2/2, Fiend Hunter wanted to eat fliers it could not block, Journey to Nowhere skipped the body entirely. This Dwarf picks the defensive corner of that spectrum, putting a 1/3 frame underneath the removal so the card holds the ground while it strips a blocker or an attacker off the table. The toughness is the point: it survives the kind of incidental pings and small blocks that would knock a 2/2 priest off the board and hand the exiled creature back, so the answer stays answered longer than a glassier body would manage. That fragility is the whole tension with this class of card. The exile lasts only as long as the Warden does, which turns the engagement into a removal-versus-removal exchange: kill the Warden and the captured creature walks right back into play, sometimes with its own enters-the-battlefield trigger firing a second time. The 1/3 does not dodge that; nothing in this archetype can. What it does is raise the floor, demanding a real removal spell rather than a chump block or a one-damage burn to undo the trade. It is the steady, hard-to-jostle member of the family, built less to attack than to stand in front of a problem creature and make getting it back cost something.
