Rationale
4cmc legendary Zombie Hydra ETB with 6 counters, doubling to 12 on escape. Damage prevention shields the threat; repeatable fight outlet. Signature in counters-voltron and graveyard-matters shells (escape requires 6 cards in yard). Requires graveyard density and 3-color mana, making it slower setup than monochrome voltron threats.
