Rationale
Valki is a 2cmc legendary god with no text on the front face; the card's power comes from being reanimated or flipped via effects like Polymorph, which turns it into Tibalt, a planeswalker. Signature in reanimator and combo shells that abuse ETB flips or graveyard synergies. Requires graveyard density and interaction to unlock its value; vulnerable to exile effects that remove the reanimation target outright.
