Rationale
5cmc 6/6 trample legendary. Attack trigger cheats creatures from hand onto battlefield tapped and attacking, returning them EoT. Recursion clause (Die/Exile → library 3rd from top) enables graveyard-light reanimator shells and combat-cheating aggro strategies. Signature in aggressive midrange and reanimator; less format-defining than Primeval Titan but solid finisher-toolbox piece. Vulnerable to removal after attack window closes, and hand-only payoff requires creatures in hand to shine.
