Basilica Guards⁣ - Gatecrash⁣ (Common)⁣ [5]

Basilica Guards is a three-mana Defender from Gatecrash with a 1/4 body, built to hold the ground early against aggressive decks. Its Extort ability lets you drain opponents for 1 life each time you cast a spell by paying an extra {W/B}, so even a wall can chip away at life totals and offset your own losses over a long game. It fits mono-white decks that want to grind out value through incremental drain rather than relying on the creature to attack, though its lack of power means it contributes nothing on offence.
