Loxodon Smiter

A 4/4 for three is already a clean rate; the rest of the elephant exists to humiliate the decks that try to interact with it before it lands. The uncounterable clause walks it past blue's whole tempo plan, and the discard line turns Liliana of the Veil, Hymn to Tourach, and every other hand-attack spell into a free deployment: try to strip it from hand and it simply arrives early, ahead of curve and ahead of schedule. That second ability is the cleverer half, because it inverts the usual cost-benefit of disruption. Discard normally trades one of your cards for one of theirs; here the opponent pays a card to accelerate yours. It only fires when an opponent forces the discard, so you cannot abuse it with your own looting or rummaging, which keeps it a punishment rather than an engine. The result is a body that is mathematically resilient against the two archetypes most likely to want it dead before combat: the control deck that holds counters and the attrition deck that holds discard. It does not dodge removal, and that is deliberate. The protection is aimed squarely at the cards that try to answer a threat while it is still resources rather than a creature, leaving the actual board-based answers to do their job once the elephant has resolved.
