Rationale

5cmc 3/5 legend with deathtouch/lifelink. Static ability: ETB and other permanent-entry effects trigger twice. Signature in flicker, ETB payoff, and ramp shells (prime targets: Mulldrifter, Sea Gate Oracle, Walking Ballista). Removal magnet due to extreme value generation; requires commander-level density of ETB payoffs to enable the doubling effect. Anti-aggro/tempo: too slow, 5 mana is off-curve.
