Ajani, Nacatl Pariah
Ajani, Nacatl Pariah enters the battlefield as a compact white option for cat tribal decks. For {1}{W} you create a 2/1 white Cat Warrior creature token, giving you immediate board presence and a sturdy body for early trades. From Modern Horizons 3 this card fits neatly into white focused tempo and cat synergies, providing reliable value without overcommitting.
Beyond the ETB token the card adds a protective loop: whenever one or more other Cats you control die, you may exile Ajani, then return him to the battlefield transformed under his owner's control. That mechanic rewards careful protection of your cats and can extend your board through reentry on the transformed side. His pride denied him; his brother did not.
