Rationale

5cmc 3/3 legendary merfolk druid with landfall ETB: gain 1 life + draw a card. Premier ramp payoff in lands-matter shells, especially in Brawl/Commander where landfall recursion is straightforward. Signature in ramp-big-mana and combo (Scute Swarm, fetch-heavy strategies). Removal-magnet in multiplayer formats; slow-setup without consistent land drops.
