Rationale
5cmc legendary creature with flash and two static abilities: grants flash to legendary and artifact spells; doubles triggers from legendary/artifact permanents entering or leaving. Signature in legendary-matters and artifact-matters shells where density enables the trigger-doubling engine. Requires high density of both legendary spells and artifact synergies to justify the mana cost and density constraints; pip-heavy (three white pips).
