Shattered Acolyte
White has always kept artifact and enchantment removal on retainer, but the delivery matters as much as the effect: Disenchant sits dead in hand until a target appears, while stapling the same destruction onto a body makes the card useful before the answer is ever needed. This Dwarf Warlock takes that bargain and puts it on a lifelinking beater. It comes down early, applies pressure or gains a few points in combat, and holds a Disenchant in reserve for whenever an artifact or enchantment shows up worth handling. The sacrifice cost is what balances it: cashing the creature in means giving up the board presence you paid for, so you are choosing between the beater and the answer, not collecting both. The shape solves the classic problem with dedicated hate. A pure Disenchant does nothing against an opponent who never presents a target, whereas this one attacks and gains life all game and only converts into removal on the turn a target materializes. The lifelink is what makes that patience pay: every turn you decline to sacrifice, the creature is still earning its keep, so the "wasted" draws against a targetless matchup are a lifegaining body rather than a blank. The timing tilts further in your favor, since the destruction fires at instant speed off the sacrifice, letting you leave the answer up while the creature sits back on defense.
