Drannith Magistrate
Most players read Drannith Magistrate as a cute hate bear. The real job is simpler and meaner: your opponents' commanders stop being castable. In a format built around one repeatable card in the command zone, that is a lot of tempo for {1}{W}.

The take
A two-drop that taxes the entire format's default plan, and it's much better in white stax than its price tag suggests.
Ranked around 769 on EDHRec at roughly $9.80
Plays well with
-
Archon of Emeria
Both are cheap bodies that restrict what opponents can do, and Lavinia-style stax lists stack them so one shuts off the command zone while the other taxes the rest of the table's plays.
-
Heliod, Sun-Crowned
Heliod often leads staxy decks built from disruptive creatures, and Magistrate is exactly the kind of cheap restriction piece those lists want to pile up.
-
Vesperlark
Vesperlark can bring Magistrate back from the graveyard, so a removed copy comes back and the casting restriction returns.
