Tax Collector — Keep Them Accountable
Tax Collector is a compact white creature that presses an opponent's resources or neutralizes a single threat when it arrives. The 2 2 body is serviceable and the enter the battlefield choices give a precise tempo play: one option levies a temporary cost increase on opponent spells while the other detains a creature until your next turn. In practical play this card functions as a soft lockdown or a tempo tax that rewards timing and hand reading.
The art and Assassin's Creed tie in convey the bureaucratic reach behind a quiet enforcement. Use Tax Collector to force awkward plays, slow a combo or buy a turn to stabilize. This Light Play Foil edition adds collectible sheen to drafts and commander boxes while remaining a straightforward tactical inclusion for white decks that prize control and incremental advantage.
