Rationale
5cmc legendary 3/2 lifelink that ETB-creates a 5/5 trample Wolf token and locks down opp blockers if Tolsimir attacks. Signature in wolf-focused voltron/tokens-go-wide shells and legendary-matters strategies. The attack-trigger forcing blocks creates evasion for the wolf token. Anti-control and anti-stax (too slow, requires both its own combat and wolf density). Risk: removal-magnet on the token and demands dedicated wolf support.
