Rationale
6cmc legendary vampire rogue. Costs {1} less per party member (typically 1–2 discount in constructed). Flying, deathtouch, haste; grants deathtouch to other creatures; destroys planeswalkers on combat damage. Midrange threat with anthemic upside and niche planeswalker hate. Signature in party-focused midrange; also fits voltron builds that leverage the anthem and evasion. Risks: color-heavy (4BB+R), requires creature density to reduce cost meaningfully, and a removal magnet once assembled.
