Rationale
4cmc 4/4 legendary with flash, menace, and ward {2}. ETB secretly duplicates a graveyard card into hand (as a conjured copy), gaining flash if not a land. Signature in spellslinger and self-mill shells that want repeatable yard access and flash payoffs. Requires graveyard density to shine; strong removal target due to evasion and utility. Commander-dependent in Brawl (commanders with self-mill synergy amplify value).
