Rationale
3cmc legendary 3/2 pirate. Triggers on your third spell each turn: adds a +1/+1 counter and deals damage equal to its power. Premier spellslinger payoff that rewards go-wide spell volume—each trigger grows the creature while pressuring opp. Signature in spellslinger and storm strategies. Risks: removal-magnet (must-answer threat), once-per-turn-restricted (doesn't scale past third spell), requires-hand-density (density of spells matters for consistent triggers).
