Rationale

4cmc legendary creature (2/3) with blitz {1}{R} and an activated ability: discard a card, tap, copy another creature, add haste and death-draw, sacrifice EOT. Signature in combo (token-copy + death-trigger loops with sacrifice outlets) and tempo (blitz mode for free instant ETB + draw). Requires creature density to copy, and activation is sorcery-speed only. Death-draw payoff makes it spellslinger-adjacent but core play is duplicating threats.
