Rationale
2cmc legendary 2/2 with vigilance/menace. Dies/exile trigger: +1/+1 counter and 1 life. Late-game payoff at 4+ power: destroy a nonland permanent on death. Signature in aristocrats (sacrificed creatures trigger, feeding counters) and counters-voltron (grows into a removal threat). Requires creature density and repeated sac outlets to justify the tempo cost.
