Rationale
3cmc legendary Cat Beast lord with vigilance. Companion mechanic requires starting deck to contain only Cats, Elementals, Nightmares, Dinosaurs, or Beasts. Grants +1/+1 and vigilance to other creatures sharing those types—signature in tribe-focused wide strategies. Risks: companion-restricted (deckbuilding constraint), requires-tribe-density (dead without critical mass), commander-dependent (utility locked behind activation cost and companion restriction).
