Muraganda Eldrazi

Creature — Eldrazi Dinosaur4 generic manaWhite mana

Deworded is the punchline made literal: a creature that "counts as having no abilities" is a card doing its own errata in play, a self-referential gag that reads as flavor text until you notice it stacks with the primeval counter the cast trigger hands out. Both effects strip abilities, one aimed inward at itself and one aimed outward at a target creature, so the card is a walking essay on ability removal wearing an Eldrazi Dinosaur type line. Devoid makes it colorless despite the white cost, and the straight-faced absurdity of that mashup is the same brand of humor as the rest of the card. The counter can go on any creature, so the useful line is aiming it at a problem you can legally target: a menacing threat, an indestructible value engine, a keyword-dependent creature that gets neutralized the moment it becomes a vanilla body and, because a primeval counter forbids gaining abilities back, stays neutralized until someone moves it out of the zone. Underneath the comedy sits a tidy piece of design: the counter often matters more than the 6/5 body, since gutting a keyword-reliant creature can be worth more than killing it outright, and the beater is a bonus on top. The timing is the tell. Casting it is the trigger, so the counter lands before the Eldrazi resolves, meaning the answer arrives a beat ahead of the threat that carries it.
