Rationale
3cmc 3/3 legendary spirit with reach. Grants trample to modified creatures and tutors a basic land to the battlefield whenever a modified creature hits. Signature in all voltron subtypes (equipment, aura, counters) where modifications are inherent to the archetype; also strong in ramp/lands-matter. Anti-aggro: 3-mana setup before payoff, requires modification density. Notable risks: requires payload of equipment/auras/counters to activate payoff, and is a removal magnet as the core engine.
