Severance Priest — Quietly Devout
Severance Priest is a practical pick for decks that value hand information and incremental advantage. This borderless Light Play Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm presents the card as a clean table piece while preserving the hard utility of its printed effects. The creature arrives with deathtouch, forces an opponent to reveal their hand and lets you exile a nonland spell; that exile sets up a delayed payoff if the Priest leaves the battlefield. The art and foil treatment make it simple to read in play and satisfying to fetch for planeswalker or removal targets.
The card fits naturally into middling to control shells where tempo and card denial matter. Use it to tax opponents with removal decisions or to bait trades you can exploit later. In limited it acts as both a removal deterrent and a late game engine since the exiled card can turn into an X/X white Spirit creature token equal to the exiled card's mana value. Players familiar with Tarkir's grave and sky themes will find its enter and leave triggers align well with flicker and sacrifice lines.
