Rationale
2cmc legendary rat avatar. Disappear creates a 1/1 Rat token and pumps itself whenever a permanent leaves play on your turn. Tap-sac three Rats to reanimate a creature and all others with the same name from graveyard. Signature in rat-focused aristocrats and sacrifice shells as both a token engine and selective reanimator. Conditional trigger (permanents leaving) and self-dependent on rat density.
