Creature Hoser

Always-on permanents whose restrictions key off creature characteristics, locking down attackers, untaps, or activations based on power, toughness, or creature type. Meekstone, for example, prevents creatures with power 3 or greater from untapping, hosing big-creature decks while leaving small utility creatures free. Narrower than control.stax, which denies resources symmetrically across all permanent types through untap locks or forced sacrifice; this slice specifically targets creatures rather than mana, lands, or the whole board. Also distinct from control.hate_bear, which is itself a creature carrying a static, whereas creature_hoser is the noncreature permanent doing the hosing.
