Distinguished Conjurer: Flicker and Life
Distinguished Conjurer fits neatly into a white centered plan from Modern Horizons 3 as a compact utility creature. For {1}{W} it slips onto the battlefield early and remains relevant thanks to a dependable life gain trigger. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life, giving you a small but meaningful buffer against aggressive starts and helping you stabilize as the game unfolds.
The second ability adds a practical flicker option. For {4}{W} you exile another target creature you control, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. That retap lets you re trigger ETB abilities, dodge removal, or reset a threat to reshuffle the board state in your favor. In practice, Distinguished Conjurer rewards deliberate planning and precise sequencing, turning modest bodies into repeatable value across a match.
