Rationale

4cmc legendary shapeshifter. Triggers on instant/sorcery spells targeting other permanents you control, creating token copies. Signature in combo (loop instant+creatures for tokens), tokens-go-wide (scales with spell density), and spellslinger (turns targeted interaction into value). Flicker synergy: triggers on each targeted spell, snowballs with repeated spell casts. Requires high instant/sorcery density and permanent targets to shine; dies to removal as a must-answer threat.
