Rationale

2cmc legendary creature-planeswalker with looting and card-selection abilities; transforms into a planeswalker with repeatable draw and mill payoff. Signature in control/midrange and self-mill shells. Targets for instant-speed removal and bounce keep it vulnerable despite low cost; loyalty abilities require survival investment.
