Rationale
6cmc 6/6 flying trample demon that acts as a soft-stax piece: each end step, opp chooses sacrifice two permanents or you draw two cards. Pure threat + value/tax engine that fits midrange shells where the body matters and control decks that leverage evasion + soft-lock. Tier-2: strong midrange threat but vulnerable to creature removal, and the opp's sacrifice choice limits control; 6cmc is slow for aggro/tempo/burn curves.
