Rationale
3cmc legendary flying bird that taps/untaps permanents on ETB and whenever it deals combat damage. Commander staple defining equipment-voltron, aura-voltron, and flicker shells via repeatable mana-lock and artifact untap abuse. Signature in stax-prison (Derevi can tap enemy lands recursively). Vulnerable to removal if cast normally; recastable from command zone for 4cmc.
