Rationale
3cmc Orzhov legendary creature. Triggers on creature death: generates 1/1 Human tokens (pairs with tokens-go-wide). Sacrifice outlet that drains opponents and gains you life (aristocrats/lifegain synergy). Needs creature density to shine; adequate Brawl payoff for +1/+1 token strategies or sacrifice-heavy shells.
