Revered Dead

Regeneration is structurally a black and green tool: the cheap, repeatable shield against removal and combat death that those colors hand out freely, while white's defensive toolkit usually runs through prevention and protection instead. Handing an open-ended regeneration shield to a two-mana white creature is a color-pie experiment, the kind of deliberate bleed that lets a color borrow another's identity to see how it feels. The result is a body that asks almost nothing of the board and refuses to stay dead: a single white mana resets it after every block and shrugs off any damage-based removal aimed at it. That makes it a chump-blocker that never runs out and a wall that grinds opposing attackers, since it survives combat with anything it cannot kill while costing the opponent nothing to swing into. It is genuinely frustrating to break through if all your answers deal damage; exile and bounce and sacrifice-edicts are what actually move it. The Spirit Soldier line is fitting flavor for the function: an honored dead that keeps returning to the wall. The ceiling is low because the floor is fixed at a 1/1, but raw power was never the point of the design. The real question was whether white could hold a regeneration shield at all without breaking its own contract with the color pie, and what this body demonstrates is a small, durable, deliberately unambitious proof that it can.
