Rationale

6cmc legendary flying god with card-draw payoff. Every draw creates flying/haste Insect tokens; activated draw ability fuels itself; returns to hand when killed. Signature in spellslinger (wheel engines + draw payoffs), tokens-go-wide (recursive token production), storm, and wheels — defining deckbuilder for card-draw-matters shells. Removal magnet because it generates cards + bodies if not answered immediately.
