Stalking Leonin

The hidden-information gimmick is the whole design, and it exists because this card was built for multiplayer politics rather than for a two-player game. Against a single opponent the secret choice is a formality: there is only one player to name, so the removal fires the moment something swings at you. Put three or four players around the table and the design comes alive, because you commit to an opponent when the creature enters, before you know who will actually come after you. Guess right and you exile an attacker at instant speed on someone else's combat step, dodging the sorcery-speed limitation that hampers most white removal. Guess wrong and the ability sits unused, and since revealing the name is the cost to activate it, your choice stays secret unless you fire it off. That commit-then-reveal structure is closer to a bluffing game than to a combat trick: the value is in reading which opponent means you harm before they declare it. The 3/3 body for is deliberately unremarkable, a floor that keeps the card from being dead when the guess misses. What separates it from ordinary flash-in removal is that the choice is locked and concealed rather than reactive, which turns a defensive ability into a psychological wager. It is a rare attempt to build table-talk and misdirection directly into a creature's rules text, and it only makes sense at a table crowded enough for the secret to matter.
