Lightbound Initiate
Hopeful Initiate arrives as a compact removal engine that rewards investment. The card reads Training on the printed line and then offers a removal route for a modest cost: {2}{W}, Remove two +1/+1 counters from among creatures you control: Destroy target artifact or enchantment. With a {W} mana cost and a 1/2 body, it fits easily into white midrange or token builds where counters are common currency. The retro frame and foil finish make this Light Play copy a collector friendly pick that still plays cleanly in competitive lists.
In practical play the Initiate shines when you can reliably place and move counters. It trades board presence for permanent answers without consuming your main removal slots, which keeps your deck reactive and resilient. Pair it with anthem effects and creature token generators to make the removal condition repeatable. Add this Rare from Innistrad Remastered to any white deck seeking efficient artifact and enchantment hate while keeping a low curve and a consistent game plan. Secure this foil retro frame while it is available.
