Hope of Ghirapur

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

1cmc flying thopter with a conditional stax effect: sacrifice after combat damage to lock target player out of noncreature spells. Signature in tempo/aggro lists that can reliably push evasive damage while the lock payoff still lands. Attack-trigger-only and requires connecting makes this narrower than free stax; removal-magnet as a threat that must be answered before it swings in.
