Rationale
4cmc legendary 4/3 flyer with first strike and lifelink. Efficient evasive beater that synergizes with equipment/aura strategies and has built-in lifegain. Signature combo-piece in meld decks (requires Bruna, the Fading Light to trigger—commander-dependent win condition). Strong standalone threat in equipment voltron shells. Removal-magnet as a must-answer flying first-striker.
