Rationale
9cmc 9/9 legendary flyer with lifelink, ward (sacrifice three nonlands), and graveyard denial + flashback-style engine. Signature top-end threat for black control/midrange and graveyard-hate stax shells — exiles opp's GY permanents and recasts them for life cost instead of mana. Heavy triple-black pip locks build into mono-B shells; 9cmc is slow setup; life-cost and creature-density requirement for the ward are notable risks. Tier-2: powerful closer, but slow and requires heavy commitment to graveyard hate package."
