Kambal, Consul of Allocation

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

3cmc 2/3 legendary human advisor. Whenever an opponent casts a noncreature spell, that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life. Premier tax creature in Brawl/Commander—defines stax-prison and hatebears shells by punishing noncreature casts while building life total. Signature in control as a soft-lock piece. Anti-spellslinger and anti-combo (punishes their key interaction suite). Removal magnet due to mana efficiency and effect scaling.
