Guardians of the Night: Chaplain of Alms
Step into the shadowy realms of Innistrad with the Chaplain of Alms, a steadfast ally in your quest against the darkness. This 1/1 Human Cleric boasts First Strike, allowing you to strike first in combat and control the battlefield. Its Ward ability ensures that your opponents think twice before targeting this chaplain with spells, granting you a strategic edge. When your foes are eager to eliminate threats, the Chaplain stands resolute, ready to protect your other creatures while dishing out damage.
What truly makes the Chaplain shine is its Disturb cost, allowing it to return from the graveyard with a transformed ability. This offers versatility; the transformed version, Chapel Shieldgeist, can provide additional utility and pressure on your opponent's life total. Pair it with cards like Silent Clearing or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for a synergistic strategy that can outmaneuver even the craftiest of foes. With the Chaplain of Alms on your side, you'll find yourself well-prepared for the trials that the night brings.
Join the ranks of the vigilant and let this chaplain guide you through the shadows.
