Rationale
5cmc 6/6 flying hexproof legend that damages/draws/gains life on combat. Primary threat in 5-color midrange/ramp shells with dual-color permanent synergies—each color pair triggers drain/draw/lifegain. Signature in decks built around artifact/enchantment duals (Charm suites, modal lands). Color-locked (needs 5 colors) and removal-magnet (must-answer threat); hexproof mitigates but not removal-proof.
