Grave Bramble

A wall built for exactly one war. Protection from Zombies and Defender narrow this 3/4 to a single job: stonewalling one member of the shambling horde while its controller spends the rest of the turn elsewhere. The protection clause does the work toughness alone cannot, since it voids combat damage, deathtouch, and any Zombie-sourced removal pointed at the body, making it nearly unkillable in any fight against the tribe it is named for. The honest limit is that it blocks one attacker at a time; a genuinely flooded board still gets the rest through, so the card is a reliable speed bump rather than a fortress. That is the tradeoff of a hate-bear in defensive clothing: against the tribe, it trades up forever and refuses to die; against everything else, it is a green Plant that cannot attack. Aiming a card this hard at one creature type is a holdover from an era of set-level tribal balance, where a green answer to a black aggressive deck wanted to be clean and contained rather than format-warping. The result reads less like a constructed staple and more like a referendum on how scary the relevant Zombies happen to be: when the undead are pushed, it is a brick wall worth running; when they are not, it has no reason to leave the binder.
