Rationale
5cmc 5/5 legendary with 5 mana-sink activated abilities (R, 1G, 2W, 3U, 4B): haste/trample, +1/+1, lifegain, card draw, reanimation. Defining as a 5-color toolbox finisher in control/midrange/reanimator shells—each ability independently relevant. Slow setup and extremely removal-magnet; pip-heavy (5 colors) demands proper mana base. Works best in dedicated Commander where color-fixing is easier.
