Rationale

3cmc 3/3 human soldier with vigilance. Passively counters any spell cast without mana (free spells, cascade, evoke). Sacrifice outlet grants indestructible + tempt The Ring. Signature hatebear in control/stax-prison shells that hate free spells and evoke. Negative in aggro/combo (off-curve, mana cost clogs slots), and ramp-big-mana doesn't benefit from the counter clause. Conditional trigger (only free spells) limits utility.
