Rationale
3cmc 3/2 legendary creature that gains vigilance when a Lesson is in the graveyard and accumulates +1/+1 counters as other creatures die — a death-trigger counter-producer that rewards creature sacrifice or attrition. Signature in aristocrats (creatures dying feeds Aang) and plus-one-counters shells, but as an uncommon with narrow vigilance condition and no built-in protection, it's a fringe Commander inclusion and a reasonable Limited card.
Learnings (2)
The vigilance condition requires a Lesson card (a specific Learn-mechanic card subtype) in the graveyard, which may require deliberate deckbuilding support in Commander/Brawl since Lessons are mainly an Strixhaven draft mechanic not commonly included in 100-card singletons.

Aang grows from ANY other creature dying, including opponents' creatures, making him subtly strong in board-wipe-heavy or sacrifice-heavy metas where creature death is frequent.
