Purifying Dragon

Anti-tribal hate folded into a body worth running for its own sake: a 4/3 flier that pays the beatdown tax whether or not the type-line clause ever comes online. The attack trigger deals a single point to a defending creature, hardly enough to swing combat, but the damage doubles against Zombies, and that split is what carries the card. Facing a graveyard-tribal deck, this creature knocks off a two-toughness Zombie each swing, softening the ground while the flier gets in overhead; facing anyone else, it still lands its one point and keeps attacking. The conditional does the heavy lifting: pointed removal smuggled inside a creature that pulls its weight regardless, so the slot stays live against decks that ignore the type line and quietly grinds down the one it names. Firing on attack rather than on entry keeps the value tied to your willingness to commit bodies to combat; the split damage (one for most, two for Zombies) makes it a scalpel, not a sweeper. It reads as an anti-Zombie tool, but the more durable identity is structural: a beater whose relevant text only wakes up against a specific creature type, the kind of narrow hate stapled to a flier that lets one slot pull double duty without splitting the deck against itself.
