Rationale

Syr Konrad is a 5/4 legendary that pings each opponent for 1 whenever a creature dies, enters any graveyard from anywhere, or leaves your graveyard — making him a multi-vector drain engine in aristocrats, mill, and self-mill shells. His activated mill ability fuels his own trigger repeatedly. Signature in graveyard-matters/aristocrats decks where creature churn translates directly into lethal damage; removal-magnet due to high threat ceiling and pip-heavy {3}{B}{B} constrains non-black builds.
