Rationale

4-mana flash planeswalker that enters as a surprise, enabling instant-speed loyalty activations the turn she arrives. Her −2 is conditional exile (tapped creatures only) doubling as lifegain, her −1 produces a 2/2 vigilance Samurai token, and her +1 buffs a creature with a +1/+1 counter and first strike. Signature in flash-control and midrange for her instant-speed threat/removal flexibility; her −2 exile is opp-board-required (needs a tapped creature) and the double-white pip is a real constraint in multicolor builds.
