Rationale
Quintorius is a 5cmc Boros legendary that lords over Spirits (+1/+0) and generates 3/2 Spirit tokens whenever cards leave your graveyard — covering flashback, escape, reanimation, cycling, and discard-outlet chains. Signature in graveyard-matters shells that repeatedly exile their own yards (Faithless Looting, flashback spells) and in spirit-tribal token strategies. Slow at 5 mana and requires a graveyard interaction engine to fire repeatedly; the trigger requires cards to leave the graveyard, not merely enter it.
Learnings (3)
The token trigger fires once per event regardless of how many cards leave the graveyard simultaneously — e.g. an Escape spell exiling 4 cards still produces only one 3/2 Spirit token, so you want repeated graveyard-exit events rather than mass exiles.

Quintorius synergizes strongly with cards that repeatedly cycle or flashback (e.g. Flashback spells, cycling permanents) because each individual graveyard-leave event is a separate trigger, making him much better in decks that generate many small graveyard exits than decks that do one big exile sweep.

As a Spirit lord, he buffs the tokens he creates — each 3/2 Spirit becomes a 4/2 while he's on board, making wide token swings threatening even without additional pump.
