Rationale

3cmc planeswalker with Casualty X to copy itself and accelerate loyalty. +1 forces discard or drains; −2 generates Devil tokens (sac payoff); −7 draws 7 and drains 7. Signature in Casualty combo shells and aristocrats/tokens-go-wide built around sacrifice outlets and Demon/Devil synergies. Casualty clones enable instant mid-combat token generation and stack multiple planeswalker activations per turn with proper sacrifice density.
