Malevolent Hermit // Benevolent Geist

Description

Malevolent Hermit // Benevolent Geist (DBL-61) is a double-faced rare creature from Innistrad: Double Feature that can be cast normally or cast transformed from your graveyard with Disturb. The front face can be sacrificed with {U} to tax and potentially counter a noncreature spell, while the back face is a flying Spirit that protects your noncreature spells from being countered and exiles itself if it would go to the graveyard. Its back-face exile clause and disturb pathway make it a recurring defensive option that shifts from disruption to protective utility.
