Rationale

3cmc legendary red enchantment creature with power equal to red devotion and 3 toughness. Death trigger (including own death) creates 1/1 flying-evasion Satyrs, doubling output if the creature had power ≥4. Signature in sacrifice/tokens-go-wide shells that can reach 3+ devotion. Requires high creature density and red pip density to scale; vulnerable to single removal answers that neuter the death-trigger payoff engine.
