Rationale
4cmc 4/3 legendary demon. ETB forces opponents' creatures to attack each other (not you) until next turn; gain 1 life per attacking creature death. Hard stax effect that protects you and drains per combat damage redirected. Signature in BR stax-prison and death-and-taxes shells. Anti-group-hug: forces combat contradicts give-resources thesis. Anti-aggro: requires opp board, slow setup. Risks: removal-magnet due to strong ETB lock, conditional-trigger (requires creatures to attack, requires deaths)."
