• Type: Creature Human Cleric
• Rarity: Rare
• Key word: vigilance
• Statistics: 3/3

Because the three drop slot is so filled with white, this card will not be autostart. There are so many options available that other three-mana creatures might be more useful. But Anointed Peacemaker is a strong option and should find a home in many white decks looking for a replacement for Elite Spellbinder.

White loses some of its best cheap threats, such as Luminarch Aspirant. This can turn mono-white aggro into a disruptive charge list focused on cards like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, and Brutal Cathar.

An anointed peacemaker can contribute to the bigger toll scheme by casting spells and activated abilities for two more costs. He hates air travel cards. This makes the opponent’s planeswalker cost two more, and then activating their Loyalty ability costs two more.
