Westfold Rider

Creature — Human Knight1 generic manaWhite mana

The 3/1 body is the payment, not the point. This is a maindeckable Disenchant strapped to a creature that attacks like an aggressive two-drop until the moment you need it to do the other thing, and the design leans on that dual nature: you get an early beater with a relevant power stat, and it converts into artifact or enchantment removal the turn a problem lands. The sacrifice cost is what pays for stapling utility to a body, and the sorcery-speed clause blocks the reactive ambush that would let it eat an equipment or a combo piece on the opponent's turn. That timing restriction does real work: you cannot hold it up as a bluff, so it functions as a threat you deploy proactively and cash in on your own turn. The archetype it serves is the aggressive white creature deck that wants its removal to also apply pressure, so the two lines of text never compete for a slot. Nothing here is novel in the abstract (sacrificial creatures that pop artifacts and enchantments have existed in various forms for a long time), but the combination of a genuinely fast body and a broad, flexible target means the card is never dead when the opponent runs nothing to destroy: it just attacks. That is the whole balancing act, and it is a clean one.
