Holy Justiciar

Creature — Human Cleric3 generic manaWhite mana

A tapper with a hidden specialty. The base ability is ordinary white control: pay a few mana, lock down an attacker or blocker for a turn. The Zombie clause is the giveaway, a piece of design built for a block whose horror theme leaned hard on undead. Against anything else the activation only taps; point it at a Zombie and the same activation upgrades from a temporary lock to permanent exile, sidestepping graveyard recursion and regeneration that would otherwise bring the creature back. It is hate stapled to a body, the kind of conditional repeatable removal that white reaches for when a specific tribe is the problem: useful every game as a tapper, devastating in the matchups it was tuned against. The 2/1 frame keeps it honest, fragile enough that the engine can be answered before it grinds a Zombie deck out, but the tap-then-exile loop, repeatable each turn for the same cost, is the engine doing the work.
