Stalking Leonin — Quiet Hunter in the Tall Grass
Stalking Leonin presents a compact threat that doubles as a tactical deterrent. The creature arrives and forces you to plan under uncertainty by secretly choosing an opponent. When you reveal that choice it can exile an enemy attacker that was targeting you and that is controlled by the chosen player. That timing makes it useful in commander games where politics matter and attacking lines are negotiated ahead of the reveal.
As a 3 3 Cat Archer for {2}{W} it fits easily into aggressive midrange and group hug shells that need selective removal without committing a removal spell. The card rewards careful reads and invites bluffing. In a Karlov Manor game this feels like a calculated ambush in the manor grounds. Near Mint condition and English print provide a clean copy for play or collection.
