Rationale

5cmc legendary god creature with upkeep scry (scales off Zombie count) and activated reanimation — exile graveyard creature, copy as 4/4 Zombie. Flagship card in Dimir reanimator and zombie go-wide shells; signature Brawl threat combining graveyard synergy, token generation, and card advantage. Dies-trigger recursion makes it recurring threat. Requires graveyard density to enable upkeep scry triggers; targets removal as format-defining finisher.
