Rationale

3cmc black creature lord with dual payoffs: ETB drain-and-lifegain triggers per black creature entry, plus repeatable card draw via creature sacrifice. Signature in aristocrats and tokens-go-wide shells leveraging black creature density. Combo-viable with flicker/blink synergies. Requires creature density to generate meaningful value.
