Quiet Levy

Tax Collector is a compact tempo piece for white decks that rewards timing and board awareness. As a 2 2 Human Advisor for {1}{W} it arrives and forces an immediate choice. Choose the tax route to slow opponents and make their spells cost {1} more until your next turn or choose arrest to detain a single troublesome creature and neutralize its threats through your upkeep. Both options give you a small but reliable edge in tight turns and they slot neatly into control shells or midrange lists that value efficient interaction.

In play the Tax Collector reads like a short utility plan you can sequence around. It pressures resource parity when left unanswered and doubles as a tempo play when you need to buy a turn to stabilize. The art and flavor mirror Assassin Creed craft; an unassuming agent who turns routine collection into leverage. Add it to decks that profit from disrupting opponent lines and watch it tilt key exchanges in your favor.
