Pilgrim of Virtue

Protection from black is the static half of this Cleric, and it does more than wall the body in combat: the keyword carries the full DEBT package, so black removal that targets (Terror, Snuff Out, the targeted half of an edict-adjacent spell) cannot touch the Pilgrim, and black creatures cannot block it or be blocked profitably by it. The sacrifice ability is where the design gets interesting, because it detaches that same shield from the creature entirely. Spend a white mana, feed the Pilgrim to the void, and the next damage from any black source you name is erased: an incoming attacker, the burn-half of a black removal spell, a creature about to swing for lethal. The keyword protects only the Pilgrim; the activation routes the prevention outward to whatever black is trying to kill with damage this turn. The catch is the timing. This is a prevention shield, so it has to be armed before damage is dealt, not applied retroactively after the blow lands. The seam in the coverage runs along life loss rather than damage: a black deck that drains, edicts, or grinds through hand attack and sacrifice payoffs walks past the prevention, because losing life is a different event than taking damage. (Spells that read as dealing damage, even ones with a life-gain rider, are still caught.) The Pilgrim swings from near-blank to back-breaking depending on one variable, whether the opponent's black plan kills with damage or with life loss.
