Hofri Ghostforge

Legendary Creature — Dwarf Cleric · {3}{R}{W} · Red/White commander

Spirits you control get +1/+1 and have trample and haste. Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, exile it. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a Spirit in addition to its other types and it has "When this token leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's graveyard."
