Ghostguard Sentinel
Sheltered by Ghosts is a compact removal and protection tool from Duskmourn House of Horror that pairs cleanly with tempo and lifegain strategies. The card enchants a creature you control and immediately threatens an opponent by exiling a nonland permanent until the aura leaves the battlefield. That interaction turns aggressive creatures into walking locks against a key blocker or troublesome artifact without sacrificing board presence.
In play the enchanted creature gains a modest power boost plus lifelink and ward which makes trades favorable and taxes targeted removal. Practical for limited and sideboarded in constructed shells, Sheltered by Ghosts rewards sequencing and read on the opponent since the exile window depends entirely on the aura staying attached. Add this uncommon to decks that want efficient single target disruption with a bonus of incremental life and tempo. Pick one up now to shore up fragile boards and pivot into a safer late game.
