Rationale
5cmc 6/6 deathtouch legendary frog. Cumulative upkeep: sacrifice land per turn or sac the frog (forcing land investment). Upside: extra land drop + draws whenever lands hit graveyard (self-mill synergies, fetch lands, land sacrifice engines). Signature in lands-matter and ramp-big-mana shells; anti-aggro due to high CMC and land requirement; anti-voltron (single-creature focus conflicts with land-heavy draw engine). Removal magnet and requires dense land payoff strategy.
