Rationale
3cmc 2/3 flyer with haste. Static ability: prevents damage to you and your permanents while doubling damage dealt to opponents. Signature in control/midrange soft-lock and burn punishment shells — asymmetric protection turns Spell Pierce effects into pseudo-removal while amplifying your own damage output. Anti-group-hug: shields only your side, contradicting fair-resource-sharing thesis.
