Rationale

3cmc legendary planeswalker that functions as a 1/1 Insect in hand/library. +1 generates Insect tokens and mills, scaling via Insect hit triggers; −2 sacrifices creatures as pseudo-removal; −5 drains based on graveyard size. Signature in mill-yourself-payoff (self-mill engine that rewards Insect creatures), combo (loyalty scaling with Insect hits), and graveyard-matters shells. Commander-dependent (viability hinges on graveyard density in deck), removal-magnet (threatening loyalty), requires-graveyard-density (−5 payoff).
