Pillow Fort
The 'Pillow Fort' defensive archetype: permanents that make attacking YOU costly or impossible, a staple of multiplayer Commander. Covers pay-to-attack taxes (Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Sphere of Safety, Norn's Annex, Archangel of Tithes), hard prevention (Peacekeeper, Blazing Archon), and per-combat attacker caps (Crawlspace). Broader than the mana-tax slice in control.tax_effect, which only catches 'can't attack you unless their controller pays {X}'; pillow fort also includes no-payment locks and count limits. Co-fires with control.tax_effect on pay-to-attack cards by design. Distinct from removal.pacifism, which shuts down a single creature in place — pillow fort protects the player and is written against 'creatures' attacking 'you.'
