Creature — Wall
Oracle Text
Defender (This creature can't attack.)
Tap an untapped Merfolk you control: This creature can attack this turn as though it didn't have defender.
Tap an untapped Merfolk you control: This creature gets +2/+1 until end of turn.
When this creature dies, destroy all Merfolk tapped this turn to pay for its abilities.
Watch Out
Exile prevents dies triggersRules Note
'Dies' means 'put into a graveyard from the battlefield.' If a creature is exiled instead of dying (Swords to Plowshares, Rest in Peace), dies triggers won't fire. Tokens do trigger 'dies' abilities briefly before ceasing to exist.
