Rationale
3cmc legendary elemental fox with companion restriction requiring all permanents in your starting deck have activated abilities. Static ability reduces activated-ability costs by {2} (minimum one mana), and tap ability grants unblockability. Signature in equipment-voltron and aura-voltron shells where the cost reduction dramatically enhances cost-intensive activated abilities (e.g., equipment recasting, aura protection triggers, boardwipes). High deckbuilding constraint due to companion restriction; requires dense activated-ability payload.
