Rationale
5cmc legendary 3/5 flyer with lifelink. End-step trigger that converts lifegain into +1/+1 counters and reanimates creatures based on life lost. Signature in lifegain shells with graveyard interaction and counters-voltron strategies that synergize with life-swing payoffs. Requires meaningful lifegain density and graveyard setup to be effective; conditional triggers limit consistency in slower formats.
