Anya, Punisher Above the Veil
Anya, Merciless Angel is a compact, board altering threat that scales with the health state of your opponents. That 4 4 base and flying make her a reliable attacker or blocker early, while her conditional pump rewards careful life total manipulation or coordinated multiplayer swings. In decks that pressure multiple opponents or exploit damage spreads she can quickly become a game ending beater.
Play her in an aggro midrange shell that already leans into combat and reach. The +3 +3 per qualifying opponent stacks cleanly with anthem effects and equipment. The indestructible clause flips defensive lines into permanent offense when a single opponent slips below half their starting life total. Flavor wise she fits the Karlov Manor scene, a sentinel who punishes those who fall short of their bargains.
