Faithful Protector of the Night
The Chaplain of Alms stands as a vigilant guardian amid the shadows of Innistrad, ready to thwart the dark forces that threaten the realm. With a nimble 1/1 body and the powerful First Strike ability, this Human Cleric serves as a formidable blocker, often catching unsuspecting attackers off guard. But watch out, opponents! If they attempt to target your Chaplain with a spell, they will face the wrath of Ward, forcing them to think twice before making their move.
What truly sets the Chaplain apart is its Disturb ability. For just three mana, you can cast it from your graveyard transformed into the Chapel Shieldgeist, a 2/1 Spirit that continues to protect your allies from harm. This synergy with cards like Faithful Absence and Skyclave Apparition allows you to maintain board presence while keeping your opponents on their toes. In a deck focused on graveyard recursion, the Chaplain of Alms is not just a card, but a strategic asset that can turn the tide of battle.
