Character Background

Argent Dais reads like a compact, white tempo-tool that trades short-term exile for a concession in raw card advantage: it enters with two oil counters so you can immediately spend {2}, Tap, remove them and exile a nonland permanent, but its controller draws two cards. Mechanically it best supports tempo or midrange/value plans that can afford to disrupt a key permanent while making up card advantage elsewhere, and it meshes especially well with go-wide token or aggro-white strategies because “whenever two or more creatures attack” refuels oil counters. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with recurring enter-the-battlefield effects (blink/flicker) to reset its counters or with token generators so you reliably trigger counters each combat, and include independent card-advantage engines to offset the two-card gift. Because it exiles, it answers indestructible or problematic artifacts/enchantments cleanly; because it hands cards back, use it selectively on time-sensitive threats (planeswalkers, combo pieces) rather than low-impact permanents.
